So the greatest common factor 452,136 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 933,558
3 | 933, 558 |
311, 186 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 311 x 186 = 173538
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/173538
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 452/933,136/558 is 4/173538
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 933,558 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(933,558) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(933,558) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(933,558) = ( 933 × 558 ) / 3
LCM(933,558) = 520614 / 3
LCM(933,558) = 173538
