Lets's calculate LCM of 478,748
2 | 478, 748 |
239, 374 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 239 x 374 = 178772
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 43/178772
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 989/478,3483/748 is 43/178772
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 478,748 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(478,748) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(478,748) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(478,748) = ( 478 × 748 ) / 2
LCM(478,748) = 357544 / 2
LCM(478,748) = 178772
