Lets's calculate LCM of 84,498
2 | 84, 498 |
3 | 42, 249 |
14, 83 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 14 x 83 = 6972
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 18/6972
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8802/84,3906/498 is 18/6972
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 84,498 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(84,498) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(84,498) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(84,498) = ( 84 × 498 ) / 6
LCM(84,498) = 41832 / 6
LCM(84,498) = 6972
