We found the factors 226,7704 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 226,7704 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 33,539
11 | 33, 539 |
3, 49 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 3 x 49 = 1617
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1617
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 226/33,7704/539 is 2/1617
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 33,539 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(33,539) = 11
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(33,539) x common factors =11 x 1 = 11
LCM(33,539) = ( 33 × 539 ) / 11
LCM(33,539) = 17787 / 11
LCM(33,539) = 1617
