Lets's calculate GCF of 471,459
3 | 471, 459 |
157, 153 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 471
:1,3,157,471
Now, list down the factors of 459
:1,3,9,17,27,51,153,459
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 471,459 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 471,459 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 940,893
47 | 940, 893 |
20, 19 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 47 x 20 x 19 = 17860
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/17860
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 471/940,459/893 is 3/17860
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 940,893 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(940,893) = 47
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(940,893) x common factors =47 x 1 = 47
LCM(940,893) = ( 940 × 893 ) / 47
LCM(940,893) = 839420 / 47
LCM(940,893) = 17860
