Lets's calculate LCM of 294,118
2 | 294, 118 |
147, 59 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 147 x 59 = 17346
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/17346
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7741/294,2840/118 is 1/17346
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 294,118 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(294,118) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(294,118) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(294,118) = ( 294 × 118 ) / 2
LCM(294,118) = 34692 / 2
LCM(294,118) = 17346
