Lets's calculate LCM of 478,482
2 | 478, 482 |
239, 241 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 239 x 241 = 115198
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/115198
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4406/478,5985/482 is 1/115198
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 478,482 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(478,482) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(478,482) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(478,482) = ( 478 × 482 ) / 2
LCM(478,482) = 230396 / 2
LCM(478,482) = 115198
