Lets's calculate LCM of 812,7490
2 | 812, 7490 |
7 | 406, 3745 |
58, 535 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 7 x 58 x 535 = 434420
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/434420
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 950/812,2142/7490 is 2/434420
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 812,7490 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(812,7490) = 14
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(812,7490) x common factors =14 x 1 = 14
LCM(812,7490) = ( 812 × 7490 ) / 14
LCM(812,7490) = 6081880 / 14
LCM(812,7490) = 434420
