Lets's calculate LCM of 969,966
3 | 969, 966 |
323, 322 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 323 x 322 = 312018
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/312018
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5048/969,7298/966 is 2/312018
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 969,966 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(969,966) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(969,966) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(969,966) = ( 969 × 966 ) / 3
LCM(969,966) = 936054 / 3
LCM(969,966) = 312018
