So the greatest common factor 980,4462 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,981
3 | 42, 981 |
14, 327 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 14 x 327 = 13734
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/13734
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 980/42,4462/981 is 2/13734
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 42,981 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,981) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,981) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(42,981) = ( 42 × 981 ) / 3
LCM(42,981) = 41202 / 3
LCM(42,981) = 13734
