We found the factors 849,951 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 849,951 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 472,722
2 | 472, 722 |
236, 361 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 236 x 361 = 170392
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/170392
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 849/472,951/722 is 3/170392
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 472,722 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(472,722) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(472,722) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(472,722) = ( 472 × 722 ) / 2
LCM(472,722) = 340784 / 2
LCM(472,722) = 170392
