Lets's calculate LCM of 942,8320
2 | 942, 8320 |
471, 4160 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 471 x 4160 = 3918720
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3918720
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2224/942,4502/8320 is 2/3918720
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 942,8320 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(942,8320) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(942,8320) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(942,8320) = ( 942 × 8320 ) / 2
LCM(942,8320) = 7837440 / 2
LCM(942,8320) = 3918720
