So the greatest common factor 7100,1198 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 598,4340
2 | 598, 4340 |
299, 2170 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 299 x 2170 = 1297660
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1297660
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7100/598,1198/4340 is 2/1297660
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 598,4340 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(598,4340) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(598,4340) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(598,4340) = ( 598 × 4340 ) / 2
LCM(598,4340) = 2595320 / 2
LCM(598,4340) = 1297660
