Lets's calculate LCM of 402,3222
2 | 402, 3222 |
3 | 201, 1611 |
67, 537 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 67 x 537 = 215874
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 32/215874
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2624/402,8672/3222 is 32/215874
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 402,3222 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(402,3222) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(402,3222) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(402,3222) = ( 402 × 3222 ) / 6
LCM(402,3222) = 1295244 / 6
LCM(402,3222) = 215874
