So the greatest common factor 4008,9706 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 142,7346
2 | 142, 7346 |
71, 3673 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 71 x 3673 = 521566
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/521566
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4008/142,9706/7346 is 2/521566
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 142,7346 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(142,7346) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(142,7346) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(142,7346) = ( 142 × 7346 ) / 2
LCM(142,7346) = 1043132 / 2
LCM(142,7346) = 521566
