Lets's calculate LCM of 468,453
3 | 468, 453 |
156, 151 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 156 x 151 = 70668
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/70668
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7206/468,8726/453 is 2/70668
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 468,453 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(468,453) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(468,453) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(468,453) = ( 468 × 453 ) / 3
LCM(468,453) = 212004 / 3
LCM(468,453) = 70668
