Lets's calculate LCM of 496,294
2 | 496, 294 |
248, 147 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 248 x 147 = 72912
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/72912
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3339/496,9150/294 is 3/72912
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 496,294 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(496,294) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(496,294) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(496,294) = ( 496 × 294 ) / 2
LCM(496,294) = 145824 / 2
LCM(496,294) = 72912
