Lets's calculate LCM of 42,6796
2 | 42, 6796 |
21, 3398 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 21 x 3398 = 142716
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/142716
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 406/42,658/6796 is 14/142716
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 42,6796 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,6796) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,6796) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(42,6796) = ( 42 × 6796 ) / 2
LCM(42,6796) = 285432 / 2
LCM(42,6796) = 142716
