Lets's calculate LCM of 42,6702
2 | 42, 6702 |
3 | 21, 3351 |
7, 1117 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 7 x 1117 = 46914
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/46914
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 914/42,688/6702 is 2/46914
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 42,6702 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,6702) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,6702) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(42,6702) = ( 42 × 6702 ) / 6
LCM(42,6702) = 281484 / 6
LCM(42,6702) = 46914
