Lets's calculate LCM of 842,155
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 130510
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/130510
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 386/842,9612/155 is 2/130510
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 842,155 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(842,155) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(842,155) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(842,155) = ( 842 × 155 ) / 1
LCM(842,155) = 130510 / 1
LCM(842,155) = 130510
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
