Lets's calculate LCM of 474,2542
2 | 474, 2542 |
237, 1271 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 237 x 1271 = 602454
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/602454
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9894/474,6915/2542 is 3/602454
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 474,2542 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(474,2542) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(474,2542) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(474,2542) = ( 474 × 2542 ) / 2
LCM(474,2542) = 1204908 / 2
LCM(474,2542) = 602454
