So the greatest common factor 861,273 is 21.
Lets's calculate LCM of 430,942
2 | 430, 942 |
215, 471 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 215 x 471 = 202530
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 21/202530
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 861/430,273/942 is 21/202530
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 430,942 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(430,942) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(430,942) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(430,942) = ( 430 × 942 ) / 2
LCM(430,942) = 405060 / 2
LCM(430,942) = 202530
