Lets's calculate LCM of 1272,7190
2 | 1272, 7190 |
636, 3595 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 636 x 3595 = 4572840
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/4572840
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 842/1272,408/7190 is 2/4572840
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 1272,7190 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(1272,7190) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(1272,7190) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(1272,7190) = ( 1272 × 7190 ) / 2
LCM(1272,7190) = 9145680 / 2
LCM(1272,7190) = 4572840
