Lets's calculate LCM of 189,222
3 | 189, 222 |
63, 74 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 63 x 74 = 13986
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 37/13986
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 962/189,925/222 is 37/13986
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 189,222 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(189,222) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(189,222) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(189,222) = ( 189 × 222 ) / 3
LCM(189,222) = 41958 / 3
LCM(189,222) = 13986
