So the greatest common factor 574,462 is 14.
Lets's calculate LCM of 921,381
3 | 921, 381 |
307, 127 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 307 x 127 = 116967
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/116967
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 574/921,462/381 is 14/116967
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 921,381 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(921,381) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(921,381) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(921,381) = ( 921 × 381 ) / 3
LCM(921,381) = 350901 / 3
LCM(921,381) = 116967
