Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/64998
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 997/414,688/471 is 1/64998
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 414,471 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(414,471) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(414,471) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(414,471) = ( 414 × 471 ) / 3
LCM(414,471) = 194994 / 3
LCM(414,471) = 64998
