So the greatest common factor 255,616 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 962,474
2 | 962, 474 |
481, 237 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 481 x 237 = 227994
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/227994
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 255/962,616/474 is 1/227994
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 962,474 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(962,474) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(962,474) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(962,474) = ( 962 × 474 ) / 2
LCM(962,474) = 455988 / 2
LCM(962,474) = 227994
