So the greatest common factor 479,221 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 978,540
| 2 | 978, 540 |
| 3 | 489, 270 |
| 163, 90 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 163 x 90 = 88020
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/88020
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 479/978,221/540 is 1/88020
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 978,540 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(978,540) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(978,540) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(978,540) = ( 978 × 540 ) / 6
LCM(978,540) = 528120 / 6
LCM(978,540) = 88020
