19 | 912, 6859 |
48, 361 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 19 x 48 x 361 = 329232
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/329232
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7142/912,2518/6859 is 2/329232
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 912,6859 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(912,6859) = 19
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(912,6859) x common factors =19 x 1 = 19
LCM(912,6859) = ( 912 × 6859 ) / 19
LCM(912,6859) = 6255408 / 19
LCM(912,6859) = 329232
