So the greatest common factor 7220,4344 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 69,162
3 | 69, 162 |
23, 54 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 23 x 54 = 3726
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/3726
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7220/69,4344/162 is 4/3726
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 69,162 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(69,162) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(69,162) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(69,162) = ( 69 × 162 ) / 3
LCM(69,162) = 11178 / 3
LCM(69,162) = 3726
