So the greatest common factor 275,120 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 942,867
3 | 942, 867 |
314, 289 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 314 x 289 = 272238
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/272238
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 275/942,120/867 is 5/272238
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 942,867 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(942,867) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(942,867) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(942,867) = ( 942 × 867 ) / 3
LCM(942,867) = 816714 / 3
LCM(942,867) = 272238
