We found the factors 471,549 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 471,549 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 466,822
2 | 466, 822 |
233, 411 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 233 x 411 = 191526
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/191526
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 471/466,549/822 is 3/191526
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 466,822 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(466,822) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(466,822) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(466,822) = ( 466 × 822 ) / 2
LCM(466,822) = 383052 / 2
LCM(466,822) = 191526
