So the greatest common factor 7020,8967 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 196,301
7 | 196, 301 |
28, 43 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 28 x 43 = 8428
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/8428
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7020/196,8967/301 is 3/8428
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 196,301 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(196,301) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(196,301) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(196,301) = ( 196 × 301 ) / 7
LCM(196,301) = 58996 / 7
LCM(196,301) = 8428
