Lets's calculate LCM of 338,6808
2 | 338, 6808 |
169, 3404 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 169 x 3404 = 1150552
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/1150552
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3966/338,9921/6808 is 3/1150552
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 338,6808 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(338,6808) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(338,6808) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(338,6808) = ( 338 × 6808 ) / 2
LCM(338,6808) = 2301104 / 2
LCM(338,6808) = 1150552
