Lets's calculate LCM of 850,9885
5 | 850, 9885 |
170, 1977 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 170 x 1977 = 1680450
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1680450
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1242/850,7127/9885 is 1/1680450
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 850,9885 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(850,9885) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(850,9885) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(850,9885) = ( 850 × 9885 ) / 5
LCM(850,9885) = 8402250 / 5
LCM(850,9885) = 1680450
