Lets's calculate LCM of 342,1044
2 | 342, 1044 |
3 | 171, 522 |
3 | 57, 174 |
19, 58 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 19 x 58 = 19836
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/19836
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1775/342,3746/1044 is 1/19836
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 342,1044 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(342,1044) = 18
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(342,1044) x common factors =18 x 1 = 18
LCM(342,1044) = ( 342 × 1044 ) / 18
LCM(342,1044) = 357048 / 18
LCM(342,1044) = 19836
