Lets's calculate LCM of 214,6630
2 | 214, 6630 |
107, 3315 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 107 x 3315 = 709410
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/709410
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5558/214,3978/6630 is 2/709410
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 214,6630 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(214,6630) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(214,6630) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(214,6630) = ( 214 × 6630 ) / 2
LCM(214,6630) = 1418820 / 2
LCM(214,6630) = 709410
