2 | 862, 7718 |
431, 3859 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 431 x 3859 = 3326458
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3326458
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2969/862,2042/7718 is 1/3326458
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 862,7718 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(862,7718) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(862,7718) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(862,7718) = ( 862 × 7718 ) / 2
LCM(862,7718) = 6652916 / 2
LCM(862,7718) = 3326458
