Lets's calculate LCM of 802,114
2 | 802, 114 |
401, 57 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 401 x 57 = 45714
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 56/45714
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2856/802,3472/114 is 56/45714
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 802,114 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(802,114) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(802,114) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(802,114) = ( 802 × 114 ) / 2
LCM(802,114) = 91428 / 2
LCM(802,114) = 45714
