So the greatest common factor 4700,3222 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 141,329
47 | 141, 329 |
3, 7 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 47 x 3 x 7 = 987
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/987
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4700/141,3222/329 is 2/987
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 141,329 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(141,329) = 47
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(141,329) x common factors =47 x 1 = 47
LCM(141,329) = ( 141 × 329 ) / 47
LCM(141,329) = 46389 / 47
LCM(141,329) = 987
