Lets's calculate LCM of 447,596
149 | 447, 596 |
3, 4 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 149 x 3 x 4 = 1788
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1788
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8421/447,4906/596 is 1/1788
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 447,596 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(447,596) = 149
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(447,596) x common factors =149 x 1 = 149
LCM(447,596) = ( 447 × 596 ) / 149
LCM(447,596) = 266412 / 149
LCM(447,596) = 1788
