Lets's calculate LCM of 502,4086
2 | 502, 4086 |
251, 2043 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 251 x 2043 = 1025586
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1025586
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1702/502,5740/4086 is 2/1025586
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 502,4086 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(502,4086) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(502,4086) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(502,4086) = ( 502 × 4086 ) / 2
LCM(502,4086) = 2051172 / 2
LCM(502,4086) = 1025586
