So the greatest common factor 685,475 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 468,238
2 | 468, 238 |
234, 119 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 234 x 119 = 55692
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/55692
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 685/468,475/238 is 5/55692
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 468,238 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(468,238) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(468,238) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(468,238) = ( 468 × 238 ) / 2
LCM(468,238) = 111384 / 2
LCM(468,238) = 55692
