Lets's calculate LCM of 542,7042
2 | 542, 7042 |
271, 3521 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 271 x 3521 = 1908382
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/1908382
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6258/542,7890/7042 is 6/1908382
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 542,7042 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(542,7042) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(542,7042) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(542,7042) = ( 542 × 7042 ) / 2
LCM(542,7042) = 3816764 / 2
LCM(542,7042) = 1908382
