Lets's calculate LCM of 153,782
17 | 153, 782 |
9, 46 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 17 x 9 x 46 = 7038
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 22/7038
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3542/153,5104/782 is 22/7038
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 153,782 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(153,782) = 17
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(153,782) x common factors =17 x 1 = 17
LCM(153,782) = ( 153 × 782 ) / 17
LCM(153,782) = 119646 / 17
LCM(153,782) = 7038
