So the greatest common factor 222,580 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 552,159
3 | 552, 159 |
184, 53 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 184 x 53 = 29256
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/29256
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 222/552,580/159 is 2/29256
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 552,159 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(552,159) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(552,159) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(552,159) = ( 552 × 159 ) / 3
LCM(552,159) = 87768 / 3
LCM(552,159) = 29256
