So the greatest common factor 830,642 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,2602
2 | 42, 2602 |
21, 1301 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 21 x 1301 = 54642
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/54642
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 830/42,642/2602 is 2/54642
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 42,2602 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,2602) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,2602) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(42,2602) = ( 42 × 2602 ) / 2
LCM(42,2602) = 109284 / 2
LCM(42,2602) = 54642
