Lets's calculate LCM of 791,3206
7 | 791, 3206 |
113, 458 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 113 x 458 = 362278
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/362278
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 97/791,7042/3206 is 1/362278
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 791,3206 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(791,3206) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(791,3206) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(791,3206) = ( 791 × 3206 ) / 7
LCM(791,3206) = 2535946 / 7
LCM(791,3206) = 362278
