So the greatest common factor 517,462 is 11.
Lets's calculate LCM of 39,435
3 | 39, 435 |
13, 145 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 13 x 145 = 5655
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/5655
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 517/39,462/435 is 11/5655
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 39,435 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(39,435) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(39,435) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(39,435) = ( 39 × 435 ) / 3
LCM(39,435) = 16965 / 3
LCM(39,435) = 5655
