Lets's calculate LCM of 479,801
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 383679
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/383679
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 486/479,3945/801 is 3/383679
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 479,801 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(479,801) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(479,801) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(479,801) = ( 479 × 801 ) / 1
LCM(479,801) = 383679 / 1
LCM(479,801) = 383679
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
