Lets's calculate LCM of 224,887
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 198688
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/198688
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2702/224,4278/887 is 2/198688
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 224,887 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(224,887) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(224,887) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(224,887) = ( 224 × 887 ) / 1
LCM(224,887) = 198688 / 1
LCM(224,887) = 198688
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
