So the greatest common factor 7602,1888 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 342,3880
2 | 342, 3880 |
171, 1940 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 171 x 1940 = 663480
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/663480
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7602/342,1888/3880 is 2/663480
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 342,3880 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(342,3880) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(342,3880) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(342,3880) = ( 342 × 3880 ) / 2
LCM(342,3880) = 1326960 / 2
LCM(342,3880) = 663480
