Lets's calculate LCM of 54,483
3 | 54, 483 |
18, 161 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 18 x 161 = 8694
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/8694
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 988/54,429/483 is 13/8694
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 54,483 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(54,483) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(54,483) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(54,483) = ( 54 × 483 ) / 3
LCM(54,483) = 26082 / 3
LCM(54,483) = 8694
