Lets's calculate LCM of 870,477
3 | 870, 477 |
290, 159 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 290 x 159 = 138330
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/138330
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5139/870,3838/477 is 1/138330
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 870,477 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(870,477) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(870,477) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(870,477) = ( 870 × 477 ) / 3
LCM(870,477) = 414990 / 3
LCM(870,477) = 138330
