So the greatest common factor 9951,1240 is 31.
Lets's calculate LCM of 354,297
3 | 354, 297 |
118, 99 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 118 x 99 = 35046
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 31/35046
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9951/354,1240/297 is 31/35046
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 354,297 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(354,297) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(354,297) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(354,297) = ( 354 × 297 ) / 3
LCM(354,297) = 105138 / 3
LCM(354,297) = 35046
