So the greatest common factor 1122,1404 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 424,238
2 | 424, 238 |
212, 119 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 212 x 119 = 50456
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/50456
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1122/424,1404/238 is 6/50456
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 424,238 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(424,238) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(424,238) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(424,238) = ( 424 × 238 ) / 2
LCM(424,238) = 100912 / 2
LCM(424,238) = 50456
