Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 468,687 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 468,687 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 472,674
2 | 472, 674 |
236, 337 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 236 x 337 = 159064
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/159064
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 468/472,687/674 is 3/159064
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 472,674 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(472,674) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(472,674) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(472,674) = ( 472 × 674 ) / 2
LCM(472,674) = 318128 / 2
LCM(472,674) = 159064
