Lets's calculate LCM of 222,480
2 | 222, 480 |
3 | 111, 240 |
37, 80 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 37 x 80 = 17760
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/17760
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 593/222,256/480 is 1/17760
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 222,480 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(222,480) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(222,480) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(222,480) = ( 222 × 480 ) / 6
LCM(222,480) = 106560 / 6
LCM(222,480) = 17760
