Lets's calculate LCM of 662,598
2 | 662, 598 |
331, 299 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 331 x 299 = 197938
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 29/197938
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 319/662,232/598 is 29/197938
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 662,598 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(662,598) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(662,598) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(662,598) = ( 662 × 598 ) / 2
LCM(662,598) = 395876 / 2
LCM(662,598) = 197938
