So the greatest common factor 348,522 is 174.
Lets's calculate LCM of 33,3708
3 | 33, 3708 |
11, 1236 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 11 x 1236 = 40788
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 174/40788
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 348/33,522/3708 is 174/40788
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 33,3708 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(33,3708) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(33,3708) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(33,3708) = ( 33 × 3708 ) / 3
LCM(33,3708) = 122364 / 3
LCM(33,3708) = 40788
