So the greatest common factor 2673,3663 is 99.
Lets's calculate LCM of 224,874
2 | 224, 874 |
112, 437 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 112 x 437 = 97888
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 99/97888
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2673/224,3663/874 is 99/97888
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 224,874 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(224,874) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(224,874) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(224,874) = ( 224 × 874 ) / 2
LCM(224,874) = 195776 / 2
LCM(224,874) = 97888
