So the greatest common factor 231,518 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 209,935
11 | 209, 935 |
19, 85 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 19 x 85 = 17765
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/17765
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 231/209,518/935 is 7/17765
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 209,935 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(209,935) = 11
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(209,935) x common factors =11 x 1 = 11
LCM(209,935) = ( 209 × 935 ) / 11
LCM(209,935) = 195415 / 11
LCM(209,935) = 17765
