Lets's calculate LCM of 216,430
2 | 216, 430 |
108, 215 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 108 x 215 = 46440
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 21/46440
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2919/216,5985/430 is 21/46440
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 216,430 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(216,430) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(216,430) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(216,430) = ( 216 × 430 ) / 2
LCM(216,430) = 92880 / 2
LCM(216,430) = 46440
