Lets's calculate LCM of 658,168
2 | 658, 168 |
7 | 329, 84 |
47, 12 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 7 x 47 x 12 = 7896
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/7896
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1942/658,7968/168 is 2/7896
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 658,168 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(658,168) = 14
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(658,168) x common factors =14 x 1 = 14
LCM(658,168) = ( 658 × 168 ) / 14
LCM(658,168) = 110544 / 14
LCM(658,168) = 7896
