Lets's calculate LCM of 594,159
3 | 594, 159 |
198, 53 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 198 x 53 = 31482
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/31482
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 936/594,224/159 is 8/31482
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 594,159 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(594,159) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(594,159) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(594,159) = ( 594 × 159 ) / 3
LCM(594,159) = 94446 / 3
LCM(594,159) = 31482
