So the greatest common factor 1771,2331 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 992,988
2 | 992, 988 |
2 | 496, 494 |
248, 247 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 248 x 247 = 245024
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/245024
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1771/992,2331/988 is 7/245024
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 992,988 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(992,988) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(992,988) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(992,988) = ( 992 × 988 ) / 4
LCM(992,988) = 980096 / 4
LCM(992,988) = 245024
