Lets's calculate LCM of 1241,7157
17 | 1241, 7157 |
73, 421 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 17 x 73 x 421 = 522461
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/522461
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 866/1241,944/7157 is 2/522461
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 1241,7157 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(1241,7157) = 17
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(1241,7157) x common factors =17 x 1 = 17
LCM(1241,7157) = ( 1241 × 7157 ) / 17
LCM(1241,7157) = 8881837 / 17
LCM(1241,7157) = 522461
