Lets's calculate LCM of 42,3857
7 | 42, 3857 |
6, 551 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 6 x 551 = 23142
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/23142
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 884/42,593/3857 is 1/23142
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 42,3857 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,3857) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,3857) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(42,3857) = ( 42 × 3857 ) / 7
LCM(42,3857) = 161994 / 7
LCM(42,3857) = 23142
