Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 923,538 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 923,538 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 222,242
2 | 222, 242 |
111, 121 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 111 x 121 = 26862
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/26862
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 923/222,538/242 is 1/26862
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 222,242 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(222,242) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(222,242) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(222,242) = ( 222 × 242 ) / 2
LCM(222,242) = 53724 / 2
LCM(222,242) = 26862
