Lets's calculate LCM of 874,222
2 | 874, 222 |
437, 111 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 437 x 111 = 97014
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/97014
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6404/874,1617/222 is 1/97014
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 874,222 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(874,222) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(874,222) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(874,222) = ( 874 × 222 ) / 2
LCM(874,222) = 194028 / 2
LCM(874,222) = 97014
