2 | 942, 8630 |
471, 4315 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 471 x 4315 = 4064730
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4064730
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7256/942,4217/8630 is 1/4064730
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 942,8630 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(942,8630) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(942,8630) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(942,8630) = ( 942 × 8630 ) / 2
LCM(942,8630) = 8129460 / 2
LCM(942,8630) = 4064730
