Lets's calculate LCM of 42,561
3 | 42, 561 |
14, 187 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 14 x 187 = 7854
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/7854
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 928/42,2174/561 is 2/7854
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 42,561 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,561) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,561) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(42,561) = ( 42 × 561 ) / 3
LCM(42,561) = 23562 / 3
LCM(42,561) = 7854
