So the greatest common factor 918,221 is 17.
Lets's calculate LCM of 88,2150
2 | 88, 2150 |
44, 1075 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 44 x 1075 = 94600
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 17/94600
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 918/88,221/2150 is 17/94600
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 88,2150 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(88,2150) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(88,2150) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(88,2150) = ( 88 × 2150 ) / 2
LCM(88,2150) = 189200 / 2
LCM(88,2150) = 94600
