Lets's calculate LCM of 352,8998
2 | 352, 8998 |
11 | 176, 4499 |
16, 409 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 11 x 16 x 409 = 143968
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/143968
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6841/352,9970/8998 is 1/143968
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 352,8998 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(352,8998) = 22
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(352,8998) x common factors =22 x 1 = 22
LCM(352,8998) = ( 352 × 8998 ) / 22
LCM(352,8998) = 3167296 / 22
LCM(352,8998) = 143968
