Lets's calculate LCM of 901,476
17 | 901, 476 |
53, 28 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 17 x 53 x 28 = 25228
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/25228
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8986/901,3030/476 is 2/25228
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 901,476 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(901,476) = 17
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(901,476) x common factors =17 x 1 = 17
LCM(901,476) = ( 901 × 476 ) / 17
LCM(901,476) = 428876 / 17
LCM(901,476) = 25228
