So the greatest common factor 3738,9950 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 34,119
17 | 34, 119 |
2, 7 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 17 x 2 x 7 = 238
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/238
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3738/34,9950/119 is 2/238
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 34,119 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(34,119) = 17
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(34,119) x common factors =17 x 1 = 17
LCM(34,119) = ( 34 × 119 ) / 17
LCM(34,119) = 4046 / 17
LCM(34,119) = 238
