Lets's calculate LCM of 888,8496
2 | 888, 8496 |
2 | 444, 4248 |
2 | 222, 2124 |
3 | 111, 1062 |
37, 354 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 37 x 354 = 314352
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/314352
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1487/888,5969/8496 is 1/314352
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 888,8496 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(888,8496) = 24
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(888,8496) x common factors =24 x 1 = 24
LCM(888,8496) = ( 888 × 8496 ) / 24
LCM(888,8496) = 7544448 / 24
LCM(888,8496) = 314352
