Lets's calculate LCM of 911,218
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 198598
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/198598
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3530/911,9136/218 is 2/198598
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 911,218 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(911,218) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(911,218) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(911,218) = ( 911 × 218 ) / 1
LCM(911,218) = 198598 / 1
LCM(911,218) = 198598
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
