Lets's calculate LCM of 972,842
2 | 972, 842 |
486, 421 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 486 x 421 = 409212
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/409212
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 310/972,4227/842 is 1/409212
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 972,842 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(972,842) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(972,842) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(972,842) = ( 972 × 842 ) / 2
LCM(972,842) = 818424 / 2
LCM(972,842) = 409212
