So the greatest common factor 999,3354 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 218,558
2 | 218, 558 |
109, 279 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 109 x 279 = 60822
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/60822
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 999/218,3354/558 is 3/60822
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 218,558 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(218,558) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(218,558) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(218,558) = ( 218 × 558 ) / 2
LCM(218,558) = 121644 / 2
LCM(218,558) = 60822
