So the greatest common factor 230,372 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 333,309
3 | 333, 309 |
111, 103 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 111 x 103 = 34299
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/34299
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 230/333,372/309 is 2/34299
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 333,309 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(333,309) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(333,309) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(333,309) = ( 333 × 309 ) / 3
LCM(333,309) = 102897 / 3
LCM(333,309) = 34299
