Lets's calculate LCM of 42,471
| 3 | 42, 471 |
| 14, 157 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 14 x 157 = 6594
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/6594
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6107/42,3642/471 is 1/6594
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 42,471 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,471) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,471) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(42,471) = ( 42 × 471 ) / 3
LCM(42,471) = 19782 / 3
LCM(42,471) = 6594
