Lets's calculate LCM of 471,870
3 | 471, 870 |
157, 290 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 157 x 290 = 136590
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/136590
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4292/471,2848/870 is 4/136590
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 471,870 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(471,870) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(471,870) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(471,870) = ( 471 × 870 ) / 3
LCM(471,870) = 409770 / 3
LCM(471,870) = 136590
