So the greatest common factor 6940,2244 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 15,522
3 | 15, 522 |
5, 174 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 5 x 174 = 2610
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/2610
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6940/15,2244/522 is 4/2610
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 15,522 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(15,522) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(15,522) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(15,522) = ( 15 × 522 ) / 3
LCM(15,522) = 7830 / 3
LCM(15,522) = 2610
