Lets's calculate LCM of 996,6036
2 | 996, 6036 |
2 | 498, 3018 |
3 | 249, 1509 |
83, 503 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 83 x 503 = 500988
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 24/500988
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6648/996,3912/6036 is 24/500988
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 996,6036 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(996,6036) = 12
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(996,6036) x common factors =12 x 1 = 12
LCM(996,6036) = ( 996 × 6036 ) / 12
LCM(996,6036) = 6011856 / 12
LCM(996,6036) = 500988
