So the greatest common factor 271,942 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 946,282
2 | 946, 282 |
473, 141 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 473 x 141 = 133386
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/133386
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 271/946,942/282 is 1/133386
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 946,282 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(946,282) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(946,282) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(946,282) = ( 946 × 282 ) / 2
LCM(946,282) = 266772 / 2
LCM(946,282) = 133386
