So the greatest common factor 801,672 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 235,490
5 | 235, 490 |
47, 98 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 47 x 98 = 23030
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/23030
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 801/235,672/490 is 3/23030
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 235,490 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(235,490) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(235,490) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(235,490) = ( 235 × 490 ) / 5
LCM(235,490) = 115150 / 5
LCM(235,490) = 23030
