Lets's calculate LCM of 4642,2342
2 | 4642, 2342 |
2321, 1171 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2321 x 1171 = 5435782
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5435782
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 153/4642,778/2342 is 1/5435782
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 4642,2342 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(4642,2342) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(4642,2342) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(4642,2342) = ( 4642 × 2342 ) / 2
LCM(4642,2342) = 10871564 / 2
LCM(4642,2342) = 5435782
