So the greatest common factor 461,899 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 478,360
2 | 478, 360 |
239, 180 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 239 x 180 = 86040
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/86040
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 461/478,899/360 is 1/86040
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 478,360 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(478,360) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(478,360) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(478,360) = ( 478 × 360 ) / 2
LCM(478,360) = 172080 / 2
LCM(478,360) = 86040
