So the greatest common factor 429,585 is 39.
Lets's calculate LCM of 270,525
3 | 270, 525 |
5 | 90, 175 |
18, 35 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 5 x 18 x 35 = 9450
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 39/9450
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 429/270,585/525 is 39/9450
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 270,525 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(270,525) = 15
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(270,525) x common factors =15 x 1 = 15
LCM(270,525) = ( 270 × 525 ) / 15
LCM(270,525) = 141750 / 15
LCM(270,525) = 9450
