So the greatest common factor 863,142 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 504,342
2 | 504, 342 |
3 | 252, 171 |
3 | 84, 57 |
28, 19 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 28 x 19 = 9576
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/9576
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 863/504,142/342 is 1/9576
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 504,342 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(504,342) = 18
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(504,342) x common factors =18 x 1 = 18
LCM(504,342) = ( 504 × 342 ) / 18
LCM(504,342) = 172368 / 18
LCM(504,342) = 9576
