Lets's calculate LCM of 992,7422
2 | 992, 7422 |
496, 3711 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 496 x 3711 = 3681312
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/3681312
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 27/992,3525/7422 is 3/3681312
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 992,7422 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(992,7422) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(992,7422) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(992,7422) = ( 992 × 7422 ) / 2
LCM(992,7422) = 7362624 / 2
LCM(992,7422) = 3681312
