Lets's calculate LCM of 642,796
2 | 642, 796 |
321, 398 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 321 x 398 = 255516
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 46/255516
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6256/642,2714/796 is 46/255516
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 642,796 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(642,796) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(642,796) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(642,796) = ( 642 × 796 ) / 2
LCM(642,796) = 511032 / 2
LCM(642,796) = 255516
