Lets's calculate LCM of 842,261
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 219762
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/219762
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 416/842,294/261 is 2/219762
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 842,261 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(842,261) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(842,261) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(842,261) = ( 842 × 261 ) / 1
LCM(842,261) = 219762 / 1
LCM(842,261) = 219762
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
