Lets's calculate LCM of 988,565
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 558220
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/558220
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6550/988,3162/565 is 2/558220
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 988,565 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(988,565) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(988,565) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(988,565) = ( 988 × 565 ) / 1
LCM(988,565) = 558220 / 1
LCM(988,565) = 558220
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
