So the greatest common factor 7992,4996 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 558,470
2 | 558, 470 |
279, 235 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 279 x 235 = 131130
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/131130
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7992/558,4996/470 is 4/131130
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 558,470 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(558,470) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(558,470) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(558,470) = ( 558 × 470 ) / 2
LCM(558,470) = 262260 / 2
LCM(558,470) = 131130
