Lets's calculate LCM of 882,539
7 | 882, 539 |
7 | 126, 77 |
18, 11 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 7 x 18 x 11 = 9702
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/9702
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 995/882,942/539 is 1/9702
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 882,539 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(882,539) = 49
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(882,539) x common factors =49 x 1 = 49
LCM(882,539) = ( 882 × 539 ) / 49
LCM(882,539) = 475398 / 49
LCM(882,539) = 9702
