Lets's calculate LCM of 484,309
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 149556
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/149556
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8502/484,4143/309 is 3/149556
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 484,309 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(484,309) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(484,309) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(484,309) = ( 484 × 309 ) / 1
LCM(484,309) = 149556 / 1
LCM(484,309) = 149556
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
