Lets's calculate LCM of 419,996
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 417324
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/417324
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 462/419,7958/996 is 2/417324
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 419,996 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(419,996) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(419,996) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(419,996) = ( 419 × 996 ) / 1
LCM(419,996) = 417324 / 1
LCM(419,996) = 417324
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
