So the greatest common factor 390,516 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 402,969
3 | 402, 969 |
134, 323 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 134 x 323 = 129846
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/129846
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 390/402,516/969 is 6/129846
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 402,969 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(402,969) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(402,969) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(402,969) = ( 402 × 969 ) / 3
LCM(402,969) = 389538 / 3
LCM(402,969) = 129846
