So the greatest common factor 510,860 is 10.
Lets's calculate LCM of 279,138
3 | 279, 138 |
93, 46 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 93 x 46 = 12834
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/12834
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 510/279,860/138 is 10/12834
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 279,138 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(279,138) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(279,138) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(279,138) = ( 279 × 138 ) / 3
LCM(279,138) = 38502 / 3
LCM(279,138) = 12834
