2 | 942, 3128 |
471, 1564 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 471 x 1564 = 1473288
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1473288
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7237/942,7914/3128 is 1/1473288
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 942,3128 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(942,3128) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(942,3128) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(942,3128) = ( 942 × 3128 ) / 2
LCM(942,3128) = 2946576 / 2
LCM(942,3128) = 1473288
