Lets's calculate LCM of 57,333
3 | 57, 333 |
19, 111 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 19 x 111 = 6327
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/6327
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 242/57,2686/333 is 2/6327
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 57,333 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(57,333) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(57,333) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(57,333) = ( 57 × 333 ) / 3
LCM(57,333) = 18981 / 3
LCM(57,333) = 6327
