Lets's calculate LCM of 840,842
2 | 840, 842 |
420, 421 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 420 x 421 = 353640
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/353640
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1385/840,9158/842 is 1/353640
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 840,842 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(840,842) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(840,842) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(840,842) = ( 840 × 842 ) / 2
LCM(840,842) = 707280 / 2
LCM(840,842) = 353640
