So the greatest common factor 3506,3552 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 980,2842
2 | 980, 2842 |
7 | 490, 1421 |
7 | 70, 203 |
10, 29 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 7 x 7 x 10 x 29 = 28420
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/28420
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3506/980,3552/2842 is 2/28420
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 980,2842 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(980,2842) = 98
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(980,2842) x common factors =98 x 1 = 98
LCM(980,2842) = ( 980 × 2842 ) / 98
LCM(980,2842) = 2785160 / 98
LCM(980,2842) = 28420
