Lets's calculate LCM of 215,645
5 | 215, 645 |
43 | 43, 129 |
1, 3 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 43 x 1 x 3 = 645
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/645
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 994/215,986/645 is 2/645
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 215,645 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(215,645) = 215
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(215,645) x common factors =215 x 1 = 215
LCM(215,645) = ( 215 × 645 ) / 215
LCM(215,645) = 138675 / 215
LCM(215,645) = 645
