So the greatest common factor 4431,5913 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 235,860
5 | 235, 860 |
47, 172 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 47 x 172 = 40420
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/40420
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4431/235,5913/860 is 3/40420
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 235,860 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(235,860) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(235,860) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(235,860) = ( 235 × 860 ) / 5
LCM(235,860) = 202100 / 5
LCM(235,860) = 40420
