2 | 224, 9338 |
7 | 112, 4669 |
16, 667 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 7 x 16 x 667 = 149408
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/149408
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7947/224,3261/9338 is 3/149408
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 224,9338 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(224,9338) = 14
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(224,9338) x common factors =14 x 1 = 14
LCM(224,9338) = ( 224 × 9338 ) / 14
LCM(224,9338) = 2091712 / 14
LCM(224,9338) = 149408
