So the greatest common factor 994,132 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 890,685
5 | 890, 685 |
178, 137 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 178 x 137 = 121930
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/121930
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 994/890,132/685 is 2/121930
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 890,685 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(890,685) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(890,685) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(890,685) = ( 890 × 685 ) / 5
LCM(890,685) = 609650 / 5
LCM(890,685) = 121930
