So the greatest common factor 470,540 is 10.
Lets's calculate LCM of 153,234
3 | 153, 234 |
3 | 51, 78 |
17, 26 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 17 x 26 = 3978
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/3978
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 470/153,540/234 is 10/3978
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 153,234 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(153,234) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(153,234) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(153,234) = ( 153 × 234 ) / 9
LCM(153,234) = 35802 / 9
LCM(153,234) = 3978
