Lets's calculate LCM of 435,493
29 | 435, 493 |
15, 17 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 29 x 15 x 17 = 7395
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/7395
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8966/435,1150/493 is 2/7395
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 435,493 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(435,493) = 29
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(435,493) x common factors =29 x 1 = 29
LCM(435,493) = ( 435 × 493 ) / 29
LCM(435,493) = 214455 / 29
LCM(435,493) = 7395
