So the greatest common factor 234,522 is 18.
Lets's calculate LCM of 822,148
2 | 822, 148 |
411, 74 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 411 x 74 = 60828
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 18/60828
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 234/822,522/148 is 18/60828
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 822,148 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(822,148) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(822,148) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(822,148) = ( 822 × 148 ) / 2
LCM(822,148) = 121656 / 2
LCM(822,148) = 60828
