Lets's calculate LCM of 428,442
2 | 428, 442 |
214, 221 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 214 x 221 = 94588
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/94588
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7331/428,8451/442 is 1/94588
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 428,442 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(428,442) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(428,442) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(428,442) = ( 428 × 442 ) / 2
LCM(428,442) = 189176 / 2
LCM(428,442) = 94588
