So the greatest common factor 475,505 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 228,246
2 | 228, 246 |
3 | 114, 123 |
38, 41 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 38 x 41 = 9348
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/9348
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 475/228,505/246 is 5/9348
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 228,246 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(228,246) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(228,246) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(228,246) = ( 228 × 246 ) / 6
LCM(228,246) = 56088 / 6
LCM(228,246) = 9348
