2 | 374, 7158 |
187, 3579 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 187 x 3579 = 1338546
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1338546
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2902/374,3929/7158 is 1/1338546
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 374,7158 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(374,7158) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(374,7158) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(374,7158) = ( 374 × 7158 ) / 2
LCM(374,7158) = 2677092 / 2
LCM(374,7158) = 1338546
