So the greatest common factor 338,342 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 63,5214
3 | 63, 5214 |
21, 1738 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 21 x 1738 = 109494
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/109494
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 338/63,342/5214 is 2/109494
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 63,5214 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(63,5214) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(63,5214) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(63,5214) = ( 63 × 5214 ) / 3
LCM(63,5214) = 328482 / 3
LCM(63,5214) = 109494
