Lets's calculate LCM of 218,358
2 | 218, 358 |
109, 179 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 109 x 179 = 39022
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/39022
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4317/218,8391/358 is 3/39022
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 218,358 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(218,358) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(218,358) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(218,358) = ( 218 × 358 ) / 2
LCM(218,358) = 78044 / 2
LCM(218,358) = 39022
