So the greatest common factor 285,230 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 243,741
3 | 243, 741 |
81, 247 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 81 x 247 = 60021
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/60021
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 285/243,230/741 is 5/60021
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 243,741 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(243,741) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(243,741) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(243,741) = ( 243 × 741 ) / 3
LCM(243,741) = 180063 / 3
LCM(243,741) = 60021
