Lets's calculate LCM of 417,439
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 183063
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/183063
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5872/417,2278/439 is 2/183063
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 417,439 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(417,439) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(417,439) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(417,439) = ( 417 × 439 ) / 1
LCM(417,439) = 183063 / 1
LCM(417,439) = 183063
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
