So the greatest common factor 942,804 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 237,561
3 | 237, 561 |
79, 187 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 79 x 187 = 44319
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/44319
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 942/237,804/561 is 6/44319
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 237,561 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(237,561) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(237,561) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(237,561) = ( 237 × 561 ) / 3
LCM(237,561) = 132957 / 3
LCM(237,561) = 44319
