Lets's calculate LCM of 468,117
3 | 468, 117 |
3 | 156, 39 |
13 | 52, 13 |
4, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 13 x 4 x 1 = 468
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/468
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 787/468,835/117 is 1/468
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 468,117 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(468,117) = 117
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(468,117) x common factors =117 x 1 = 117
LCM(468,117) = ( 468 × 117 ) / 117
LCM(468,117) = 54756 / 117
LCM(468,117) = 468
