Lets's calculate LCM of 885,4428
3 | 885, 4428 |
295, 1476 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 295 x 1476 = 1306260
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/1306260
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 992/885,6984/4428 is 8/1306260
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 885,4428 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(885,4428) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(885,4428) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(885,4428) = ( 885 × 4428 ) / 3
LCM(885,4428) = 3918780 / 3
LCM(885,4428) = 1306260
