Lets's calculate LCM of 842,1570
2 | 842, 1570 |
421, 785 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 421 x 785 = 660970
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/660970
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2364/842,5580/1570 is 12/660970
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 842,1570 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(842,1570) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(842,1570) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(842,1570) = ( 842 × 1570 ) / 2
LCM(842,1570) = 1321940 / 2
LCM(842,1570) = 660970
