Lets's calculate LCM of 698,666
2 | 698, 666 |
349, 333 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 349 x 333 = 232434
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/232434
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 848/698,421/666 is 1/232434
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 698,666 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(698,666) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(698,666) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(698,666) = ( 698 × 666 ) / 2
LCM(698,666) = 464868 / 2
LCM(698,666) = 232434
