So the greatest common factor 263,420 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 70,842
2 | 70, 842 |
35, 421 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 35 x 421 = 29470
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/29470
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 263/70,420/842 is 1/29470
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 70,842 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(70,842) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(70,842) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(70,842) = ( 70 × 842 ) / 2
LCM(70,842) = 58940 / 2
LCM(70,842) = 29470
