So the greatest common factor 222,312 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 30,8943
3 | 30, 8943 |
10, 2981 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 10 x 2981 = 89430
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/89430
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 222/30,312/8943 is 6/89430
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 30,8943 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(30,8943) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(30,8943) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(30,8943) = ( 30 × 8943 ) / 3
LCM(30,8943) = 268290 / 3
LCM(30,8943) = 89430
