Lets's calculate LCM of 801,2226
3 | 801, 2226 |
267, 742 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 267 x 742 = 594342
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/594342
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 886/801,9578/2226 is 2/594342
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 801,2226 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(801,2226) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(801,2226) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(801,2226) = ( 801 × 2226 ) / 3
LCM(801,2226) = 1783026 / 3
LCM(801,2226) = 594342
