Lets's calculate LCM of 506,3404
2 | 506, 3404 |
23 | 253, 1702 |
11, 74 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 23 x 11 x 74 = 37444
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/37444
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2142/506,2209/3404 is 1/37444
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 506,3404 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(506,3404) = 46
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(506,3404) x common factors =46 x 1 = 46
LCM(506,3404) = ( 506 × 3404 ) / 46
LCM(506,3404) = 1722424 / 46
LCM(506,3404) = 37444
