Lets's calculate LCM of 566,996
2 | 566, 996 |
283, 498 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 283 x 498 = 281868
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/281868
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 983/566,2885/996 is 1/281868
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 566,996 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(566,996) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(566,996) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(566,996) = ( 566 × 996 ) / 2
LCM(566,996) = 563736 / 2
LCM(566,996) = 281868
