Lets's calculate LCM of 536,994
2 | 536, 994 |
268, 497 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 268 x 497 = 266392
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/266392
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 186/536,1881/994 is 3/266392
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 536,994 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(536,994) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(536,994) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(536,994) = ( 536 × 994 ) / 2
LCM(536,994) = 532784 / 2
LCM(536,994) = 266392
