Lets's calculate LCM of 1722,6908
2 | 1722, 6908 |
861, 3454 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 861 x 3454 = 5947788
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/5947788
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 117/1722,420/6908 is 3/5947788
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 1722,6908 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(1722,6908) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(1722,6908) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(1722,6908) = ( 1722 × 6908 ) / 2
LCM(1722,6908) = 11895576 / 2
LCM(1722,6908) = 5947788
