So the greatest common factor 470,159 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 699,858
3 | 699, 858 |
233, 286 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 233 x 286 = 199914
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/199914
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 470/699,159/858 is 1/199914
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 699,858 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(699,858) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(699,858) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(699,858) = ( 699 × 858 ) / 3
LCM(699,858) = 599742 / 3
LCM(699,858) = 199914
