So the greatest common factor 1421,2464 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 994,526
2 | 994, 526 |
497, 263 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 497 x 263 = 261422
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/261422
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1421/994,2464/526 is 7/261422
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 994,526 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(994,526) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(994,526) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(994,526) = ( 994 × 526 ) / 2
LCM(994,526) = 522844 / 2
LCM(994,526) = 261422
