Lets's calculate LCM of 474,249
3 | 474, 249 |
158, 83 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 158 x 83 = 39342
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/39342
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 834/474,802/249 is 2/39342
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 474,249 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(474,249) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(474,249) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(474,249) = ( 474 × 249 ) / 3
LCM(474,249) = 118026 / 3
LCM(474,249) = 39342
