Lets's calculate LCM of 994,489
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 486066
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/486066
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1582/994,7736/489 is 2/486066
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 994,489 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(994,489) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(994,489) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(994,489) = ( 994 × 489 ) / 1
LCM(994,489) = 486066 / 1
LCM(994,489) = 486066
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
