Lets's calculate LCM of 233,2975
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 693175
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/693175
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1986/233,6522/2975 is 6/693175
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 233,2975 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(233,2975) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(233,2975) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(233,2975) = ( 233 × 2975 ) / 1
LCM(233,2975) = 693175 / 1
LCM(233,2975) = 693175
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
