Lets's calculate LCM of 496,615
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 305040
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/305040
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 782/496,968/615 is 2/305040
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 496,615 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(496,615) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(496,615) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(496,615) = ( 496 × 615 ) / 1
LCM(496,615) = 305040 / 1
LCM(496,615) = 305040
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
