Lets's calculate LCM of 492,261
3 | 492, 261 |
164, 87 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 164 x 87 = 42804
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/42804
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 589/492,270/261 is 1/42804
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 492,261 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(492,261) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(492,261) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(492,261) = ( 492 × 261 ) / 3
LCM(492,261) = 128412 / 3
LCM(492,261) = 42804
