So the greatest common factor 228,918 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 99,7887
3 | 99, 7887 |
11 | 33, 2629 |
3, 239 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 11 x 3 x 239 = 23661
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/23661
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 228/99,918/7887 is 6/23661
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 99,7887 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(99,7887) = 33
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(99,7887) x common factors =33 x 1 = 33
LCM(99,7887) = ( 99 × 7887 ) / 33
LCM(99,7887) = 780813 / 33
LCM(99,7887) = 23661
