Lets's calculate LCM of 418,975
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 407550
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 26/407550
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 234/418,4394/975 is 26/407550
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 418,975 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(418,975) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(418,975) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(418,975) = ( 418 × 975 ) / 1
LCM(418,975) = 407550 / 1
LCM(418,975) = 407550
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
