Lets's calculate LCM of 955,470
5 | 955, 470 |
191, 94 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 191 x 94 = 89770
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/89770
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 405/955,678/470 is 3/89770
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 955,470 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(955,470) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(955,470) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(955,470) = ( 955 × 470 ) / 5
LCM(955,470) = 448850 / 5
LCM(955,470) = 89770
