So the greatest common factor 875,315 is 35.
Lets's calculate LCM of 98,442
2 | 98, 442 |
49, 221 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 49 x 221 = 21658
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 35/21658
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 875/98,315/442 is 35/21658
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 98,442 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(98,442) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(98,442) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(98,442) = ( 98 × 442 ) / 2
LCM(98,442) = 43316 / 2
LCM(98,442) = 21658
