So the greatest common factor 734,4122 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 956,642
2 | 956, 642 |
478, 321 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 478 x 321 = 306876
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/306876
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 734/956,4122/642 is 2/306876
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 956,642 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(956,642) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(956,642) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(956,642) = ( 956 × 642 ) / 2
LCM(956,642) = 613752 / 2
LCM(956,642) = 306876
