Lets's calculate LCM of 899,7130
31 | 899, 7130 |
29, 230 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 31 x 29 x 230 = 206770
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/206770
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9462/899,1536/7130 is 6/206770
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 899,7130 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(899,7130) = 31
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(899,7130) x common factors =31 x 1 = 31
LCM(899,7130) = ( 899 × 7130 ) / 31
LCM(899,7130) = 6409870 / 31
LCM(899,7130) = 206770
