Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 998,5946 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 998,5946 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 82,498
2 | 82, 498 |
41, 249 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 41 x 249 = 20418
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/20418
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 998/82,5946/498 is 2/20418
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 82,498 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(82,498) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(82,498) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(82,498) = ( 82 × 498 ) / 2
LCM(82,498) = 40836 / 2
LCM(82,498) = 20418
