Lets's calculate LCM of 231,9449
11 | 231, 9449 |
21, 859 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 21 x 859 = 198429
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/198429
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 473/231,7029/9449 is 11/198429
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 231,9449 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(231,9449) = 11
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(231,9449) x common factors =11 x 1 = 11
LCM(231,9449) = ( 231 × 9449 ) / 11
LCM(231,9449) = 2182719 / 11
LCM(231,9449) = 198429
