So the greatest common factor 309,594 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 222,321
3 | 222, 321 |
74, 107 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 74 x 107 = 23754
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/23754
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 309/222,594/321 is 3/23754
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 222,321 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(222,321) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(222,321) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(222,321) = ( 222 × 321 ) / 3
LCM(222,321) = 71262 / 3
LCM(222,321) = 23754
