Lets's calculate LCM of 444,801
3 | 444, 801 |
148, 267 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 148 x 267 = 118548
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/118548
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1492/444,7540/801 is 4/118548
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 444,801 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(444,801) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(444,801) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(444,801) = ( 444 × 801 ) / 3
LCM(444,801) = 355644 / 3
LCM(444,801) = 118548
