So the greatest common factor 3506,2050 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 471,417
3 | 471, 417 |
157, 139 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 157 x 139 = 65469
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/65469
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3506/471,2050/417 is 2/65469
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 471,417 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(471,417) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(471,417) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(471,417) = ( 471 × 417 ) / 3
LCM(471,417) = 196407 / 3
LCM(471,417) = 65469
