Lets's calculate LCM of 692,996
2 | 692, 996 |
2 | 346, 498 |
173, 249 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 173 x 249 = 172308
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/172308
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 989/692,160/996 is 1/172308
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 692,996 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(692,996) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(692,996) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(692,996) = ( 692 × 996 ) / 4
LCM(692,996) = 689232 / 4
LCM(692,996) = 172308
