Lets's calculate LCM of 478,285
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 136230
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/136230
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 156/478,994/285 is 2/136230
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 478,285 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(478,285) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(478,285) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(478,285) = ( 478 × 285 ) / 1
LCM(478,285) = 136230 / 1
LCM(478,285) = 136230
