Lets's calculate LCM of 842,1008
2 | 842, 1008 |
421, 504 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 421 x 504 = 424368
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 71/424368
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4118/842,6603/1008 is 71/424368
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 842,1008 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(842,1008) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(842,1008) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(842,1008) = ( 842 × 1008 ) / 2
LCM(842,1008) = 848736 / 2
LCM(842,1008) = 424368
