Lets's calculate LCM of 659,805
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 530495
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/530495
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 490/659,6956/805 is 2/530495
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 659,805 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(659,805) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(659,805) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(659,805) = ( 659 × 805 ) / 1
LCM(659,805) = 530495 / 1
LCM(659,805) = 530495
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
