Lets's calculate LCM of 970,1472
| 2 | 970, 1472 |
| 485, 736 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 485 x 736 = 713920
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/713920
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6229/970,2142/1472 is 1/713920
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 970,1472 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(970,1472) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(970,1472) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(970,1472) = ( 970 × 1472 ) / 2
LCM(970,1472) = 1427840 / 2
LCM(970,1472) = 713920
