Lets's calculate LCM of 644,442
2 | 644, 442 |
322, 221 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 322 x 221 = 142324
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/142324
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2842/644,5138/442 is 14/142324
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 644,442 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(644,442) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(644,442) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(644,442) = ( 644 × 442 ) / 2
LCM(644,442) = 284648 / 2
LCM(644,442) = 142324
