So the greatest common factor 147,487 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 464,377
29 | 464, 377 |
16, 13 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 29 x 16 x 13 = 6032
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/6032
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 147/464,487/377 is 1/6032
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 464,377 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(464,377) = 29
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(464,377) x common factors =29 x 1 = 29
LCM(464,377) = ( 464 × 377 ) / 29
LCM(464,377) = 174928 / 29
LCM(464,377) = 6032
