We found the factors 996,800 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 996,800 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 417,471
3 | 417, 471 |
139, 157 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 139 x 157 = 65469
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/65469
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 996/417,800/471 is 4/65469
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 417,471 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(417,471) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(417,471) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(417,471) = ( 417 × 471 ) / 3
LCM(417,471) = 196407 / 3
LCM(417,471) = 65469
