Lets's calculate LCM of 297,2255
11 | 297, 2255 |
27, 205 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 27 x 205 = 60885
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/60885
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4071/297,4686/2255 is 3/60885
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 297,2255 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(297,2255) = 11
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(297,2255) x common factors =11 x 1 = 11
LCM(297,2255) = ( 297 × 2255 ) / 11
LCM(297,2255) = 669735 / 11
LCM(297,2255) = 60885
