So the greatest common factor 1331,9237 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 472,940
2 | 472, 940 |
2 | 236, 470 |
118, 235 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 118 x 235 = 110920
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/110920
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1331/472,9237/940 is 1/110920
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 472,940 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(472,940) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(472,940) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(472,940) = ( 472 × 940 ) / 4
LCM(472,940) = 443680 / 4
LCM(472,940) = 110920
