So the greatest common factor 457,420 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 890,472
2 | 890, 472 |
445, 236 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 445 x 236 = 210040
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/210040
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 457/890,420/472 is 1/210040
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 890,472 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(890,472) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(890,472) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(890,472) = ( 890 × 472 ) / 2
LCM(890,472) = 420080 / 2
LCM(890,472) = 210040
