Lets's calculate LCM of 426,712
2 | 426, 712 |
213, 356 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 213 x 356 = 151656
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/151656
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4038/426,7207/712 is 1/151656
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 426,712 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(426,712) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(426,712) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(426,712) = ( 426 × 712 ) / 2
LCM(426,712) = 303312 / 2
LCM(426,712) = 151656
