So the greatest common factor 2238,5625 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 602,4179
7 | 602, 4179 |
86, 597 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 86 x 597 = 359394
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/359394
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2238/602,5625/4179 is 3/359394
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 602,4179 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(602,4179) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(602,4179) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(602,4179) = ( 602 × 4179 ) / 7
LCM(602,4179) = 2515758 / 7
LCM(602,4179) = 359394
