Lets's calculate LCM of 303,291
3 | 303, 291 |
101, 97 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 101 x 97 = 29391
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/29391
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 214/303,992/291 is 2/29391
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 303,291 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(303,291) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(303,291) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(303,291) = ( 303 × 291 ) / 3
LCM(303,291) = 88173 / 3
LCM(303,291) = 29391
