So the greatest common factor 374,935 is 187.
Lets's calculate LCM of 99,249
3 | 99, 249 |
33, 83 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 33 x 83 = 8217
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 187/8217
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 374/99,935/249 is 187/8217
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 99,249 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(99,249) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(99,249) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(99,249) = ( 99 × 249 ) / 3
LCM(99,249) = 24651 / 3
LCM(99,249) = 8217
