Lets's calculate LCM of 245,224
7 | 245, 224 |
35, 32 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 35 x 32 = 7840
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/7840
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6585/245,3489/224 is 3/7840
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 245,224 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(245,224) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(245,224) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(245,224) = ( 245 × 224 ) / 7
LCM(245,224) = 54880 / 7
LCM(245,224) = 7840
