Lets's calculate LCM of 444,885
3 | 444, 885 |
148, 295 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 148 x 295 = 130980
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/130980
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4246/444,8231/885 is 1/130980
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 444,885 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(444,885) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(444,885) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(444,885) = ( 444 × 885 ) / 3
LCM(444,885) = 392940 / 3
LCM(444,885) = 130980
