Lets's calculate LCM of 642,5986
2 | 642, 5986 |
321, 2993 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 321 x 2993 = 1921506
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/1921506
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7350/642,3057/5986 is 3/1921506
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 642,5986 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(642,5986) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(642,5986) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(642,5986) = ( 642 × 5986 ) / 2
LCM(642,5986) = 3843012 / 2
LCM(642,5986) = 1921506
