Lets's calculate LCM of 198,9295
11 | 198, 9295 |
18, 845 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 18 x 845 = 167310
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/167310
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2450/198,2986/9295 is 2/167310
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 198,9295 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(198,9295) = 11
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(198,9295) x common factors =11 x 1 = 11
LCM(198,9295) = ( 198 × 9295 ) / 11
LCM(198,9295) = 1840410 / 11
LCM(198,9295) = 167310
