Lets's calculate LCM of 408,6202
2 | 408, 6202 |
204, 3101 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 204 x 3101 = 1265208
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1265208
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7420/408,7342/6202 is 2/1265208
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 408,6202 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(408,6202) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(408,6202) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(408,6202) = ( 408 × 6202 ) / 2
LCM(408,6202) = 2530416 / 2
LCM(408,6202) = 1265208
