So the greatest common factor 1563,7442 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 427,154
7 | 427, 154 |
61, 22 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 61 x 22 = 9394
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/9394
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1563/427,7442/154 is 1/9394
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 427,154 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(427,154) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(427,154) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(427,154) = ( 427 × 154 ) / 7
LCM(427,154) = 65758 / 7
LCM(427,154) = 9394
