We found the factors 363,939 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 363,939 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 942,812
2 | 942, 812 |
471, 406 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 471 x 406 = 382452
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/382452
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 363/942,939/812 is 3/382452
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 942,812 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(942,812) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(942,812) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(942,812) = ( 942 × 812 ) / 2
LCM(942,812) = 764904 / 2
LCM(942,812) = 382452
