So the greatest common factor 4437,5370 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 459,279
3 | 459, 279 |
3 | 153, 93 |
51, 31 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 51 x 31 = 14229
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/14229
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4437/459,5370/279 is 3/14229
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 459,279 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(459,279) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(459,279) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(459,279) = ( 459 × 279 ) / 9
LCM(459,279) = 128061 / 9
LCM(459,279) = 14229
