Lets's calculate LCM of 722,218
2 | 722, 218 |
361, 109 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 361 x 109 = 78698
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/78698
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 209/722,7139/218 is 11/78698
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 722,218 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(722,218) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(722,218) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(722,218) = ( 722 × 218 ) / 2
LCM(722,218) = 157396 / 2
LCM(722,218) = 78698
