So the greatest common factor 795,203 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 712,842
2 | 712, 842 |
356, 421 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 356 x 421 = 299752
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/299752
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 795/712,203/842 is 1/299752
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 712,842 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(712,842) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(712,842) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(712,842) = ( 712 × 842 ) / 2
LCM(712,842) = 599504 / 2
LCM(712,842) = 299752
