Lets's calculate LCM of 897,459
3 | 897, 459 |
299, 153 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 299 x 153 = 137241
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/137241
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9302/897,3872/459 is 2/137241
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 897,459 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(897,459) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(897,459) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(897,459) = ( 897 × 459 ) / 3
LCM(897,459) = 411723 / 3
LCM(897,459) = 137241
