So the greatest common factor 2398,2232 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 393,402
3 | 393, 402 |
131, 134 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 131 x 134 = 52662
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/52662
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2398/393,2232/402 is 2/52662
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 393,402 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(393,402) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(393,402) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(393,402) = ( 393 × 402 ) / 3
LCM(393,402) = 157986 / 3
LCM(393,402) = 52662
