Lets's calculate LCM of 224,686
2 | 224, 686 |
7 | 112, 343 |
16, 49 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 7 x 16 x 49 = 10976
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/10976
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3012/224,9963/686 is 3/10976
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 224,686 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(224,686) = 14
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(224,686) x common factors =14 x 1 = 14
LCM(224,686) = ( 224 × 686 ) / 14
LCM(224,686) = 153664 / 14
LCM(224,686) = 10976
