421, 3512 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 421 x 3512 = 2957104
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/2957104
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3279/842,3858/7024 is 3/2957104
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 842,7024 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(842,7024) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(842,7024) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(842,7024) = ( 842 × 7024 ) / 2
LCM(842,7024) = 5914208 / 2
LCM(842,7024) = 2957104
