Lets's calculate LCM of 642,321
3 | 642, 321 |
107 | 214, 107 |
2, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 107 x 2 x 1 = 642
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/642
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 525/642,247/321 is 1/642
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 642,321 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(642,321) = 321
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(642,321) x common factors =321 x 1 = 321
LCM(642,321) = ( 642 × 321 ) / 321
LCM(642,321) = 206082 / 321
LCM(642,321) = 642
