Lets's calculate LCM of 235,4540
5 | 235, 4540 |
47, 908 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 47 x 908 = 213380
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/213380
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 597/235,8621/4540 is 1/213380
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 235,4540 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(235,4540) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(235,4540) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(235,4540) = ( 235 × 4540 ) / 5
LCM(235,4540) = 1066900 / 5
LCM(235,4540) = 213380
