Lets's calculate LCM of 602,2107
7 | 602, 2107 |
43 | 86, 301 |
2, 7 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 43 x 2 x 7 = 4214
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/4214
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 726/602,9486/2107 is 6/4214
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 602,2107 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(602,2107) = 301
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(602,2107) x common factors =301 x 1 = 301
LCM(602,2107) = ( 602 × 2107 ) / 301
LCM(602,2107) = 1268414 / 301
LCM(602,2107) = 4214
