Lets's calculate LCM of 842,7154
2 | 842, 7154 |
421, 3577 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 421 x 3577 = 3011834
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3011834
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3705/842,1642/7154 is 1/3011834
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 842,7154 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(842,7154) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(842,7154) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(842,7154) = ( 842 × 7154 ) / 2
LCM(842,7154) = 6023668 / 2
LCM(842,7154) = 3011834
