So the greatest common factor 663,884 is 221.
Lets's calculate LCM of 280,298
2 | 280, 298 |
140, 149 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 140 x 149 = 41720
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 221/41720
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 663/280,884/298 is 221/41720
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 280,298 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(280,298) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(280,298) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(280,298) = ( 280 × 298 ) / 2
LCM(280,298) = 83440 / 2
LCM(280,298) = 41720
