So the greatest common factor 22,33 is 11.
Lets's calculate LCM of 596,7338
2 | 596, 7338 |
298, 3669 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 298 x 3669 = 2186724
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/2186724
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 22/596,33/7338 is 11/2186724
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 596,7338 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(596,7338) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(596,7338) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(596,7338) = ( 596 × 7338 ) / 2
LCM(596,7338) = 4373448 / 2
LCM(596,7338) = 2186724
