So the greatest common factor 235,520 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 478,273
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 130494
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/130494
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 235/478,520/273 is 5/130494
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 478,273 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(478,273) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(478,273) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(478,273) = ( 478 × 273 ) / 1
LCM(478,273) = 130494 / 1
LCM(478,273) = 130494
