Lets's calculate LCM of 120,942
2 | 120, 942 |
3 | 60, 471 |
20, 157 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 20 x 157 = 18840
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/18840
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7914/120,7635/942 is 3/18840
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 120,942 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(120,942) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(120,942) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(120,942) = ( 120 × 942 ) / 6
LCM(120,942) = 113040 / 6
LCM(120,942) = 18840
