So the greatest common factor 5343,9522 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 78,222
2 | 78, 222 |
3 | 39, 111 |
13, 37 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 13 x 37 = 2886
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/2886
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5343/78,9522/222 is 3/2886
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 78,222 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(78,222) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(78,222) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(78,222) = ( 78 × 222 ) / 6
LCM(78,222) = 17316 / 6
LCM(78,222) = 2886
