So the greatest common factor 156,198 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 92,2967
23 | 92, 2967 |
4, 129 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 23 x 4 x 129 = 11868
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/11868
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 156/92,198/2967 is 6/11868
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 92,2967 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(92,2967) = 23
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(92,2967) x common factors =23 x 1 = 23
LCM(92,2967) = ( 92 × 2967 ) / 23
LCM(92,2967) = 272964 / 23
LCM(92,2967) = 11868
