Lets's calculate LCM of 765,5742
3 | 765, 5742 |
3 | 255, 1914 |
85, 638 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 85 x 638 = 488070
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/488070
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3020/765,1982/5742 is 2/488070
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 765,5742 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(765,5742) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(765,5742) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(765,5742) = ( 765 × 5742 ) / 9
LCM(765,5742) = 4392630 / 9
LCM(765,5742) = 488070
