Lets's calculate LCM of 972,7988
2 | 972, 7988 |
2 | 486, 3994 |
243, 1997 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 243 x 1997 = 1941084
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/1941084
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6483/972,5991/7988 is 3/1941084
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 972,7988 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(972,7988) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(972,7988) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(972,7988) = ( 972 × 7988 ) / 4
LCM(972,7988) = 7764336 / 4
LCM(972,7988) = 1941084
