So the greatest common factor 1198,2450 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 321,387
3 | 321, 387 |
107, 129 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 107 x 129 = 41409
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/41409
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1198/321,2450/387 is 2/41409
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 321,387 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(321,387) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(321,387) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(321,387) = ( 321 × 387 ) / 3
LCM(321,387) = 124227 / 3
LCM(321,387) = 41409
