So the greatest common factor 330,436 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 279,993
3 | 279, 993 |
93, 331 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 93 x 331 = 92349
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/92349
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 330/279,436/993 is 2/92349
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 279,993 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(279,993) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(279,993) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(279,993) = ( 279 × 993 ) / 3
LCM(279,993) = 277047 / 3
LCM(279,993) = 92349
