3 | 297, 792 |
3 | 99, 264 |
11 | 33, 88 |
3, 8 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 11 x 3 x 8 = 2376
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2376
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 426/297,418/792 is 2/2376
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 297,792 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(297,792) = 99
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(297,792) x common factors =99 x 1 = 99
LCM(297,792) = ( 297 × 792 ) / 99
LCM(297,792) = 235224 / 99
LCM(297,792) = 2376
