So the greatest common factor 875,839 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 478,236
2 | 478, 236 |
239, 118 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 239 x 118 = 56404
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/56404
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 875/478,839/236 is 1/56404
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 478,236 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(478,236) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(478,236) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(478,236) = ( 478 × 236 ) / 2
LCM(478,236) = 112808 / 2
LCM(478,236) = 56404
