Lets's calculate LCM of 318,213
3 | 318, 213 |
106, 71 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 106 x 71 = 22578
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/22578
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 533/318,3211/213 is 13/22578
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 318,213 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(318,213) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(318,213) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(318,213) = ( 318 × 213 ) / 3
LCM(318,213) = 67734 / 3
LCM(318,213) = 22578
