2 | 982, 7972 |
491, 3986 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 491 x 3986 = 3914252
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/3914252
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9993/982,1059/7972 is 3/3914252
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 982,7972 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(982,7972) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(982,7972) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(982,7972) = ( 982 × 7972 ) / 2
LCM(982,7972) = 7828504 / 2
LCM(982,7972) = 3914252
