So the greatest common factor 3332,2669 is 17.
Lets's calculate LCM of 722,196
2 | 722, 196 |
361, 98 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 361 x 98 = 70756
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 17/70756
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3332/722,2669/196 is 17/70756
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 722,196 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(722,196) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(722,196) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(722,196) = ( 722 × 196 ) / 2
LCM(722,196) = 141512 / 2
LCM(722,196) = 70756
