So the greatest common factor 966,602 is 14.
Lets's calculate LCM of 538,222
2 | 538, 222 |
269, 111 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 269 x 111 = 59718
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/59718
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 966/538,602/222 is 14/59718
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 538,222 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(538,222) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(538,222) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(538,222) = ( 538 × 222 ) / 2
LCM(538,222) = 119436 / 2
LCM(538,222) = 59718
