Lets's calculate LCM of 870,6998
2 | 870, 6998 |
435, 3499 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 435 x 3499 = 3044130
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/3044130
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4298/870,9968/6998 is 14/3044130
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 870,6998 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(870,6998) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(870,6998) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(870,6998) = ( 870 × 6998 ) / 2
LCM(870,6998) = 6088260 / 2
LCM(870,6998) = 3044130
