So the greatest common factor 460,294 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 33,861
3 | 33, 861 |
11, 287 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 11 x 287 = 9471
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/9471
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 460/33,294/861 is 2/9471
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 33,861 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(33,861) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(33,861) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(33,861) = ( 33 × 861 ) / 3
LCM(33,861) = 28413 / 3
LCM(33,861) = 9471
