So the greatest common factor 114,589 is 19.
Lets's calculate LCM of 226,168
2 | 226, 168 |
113, 84 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 113 x 84 = 18984
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 19/18984
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 114/226,589/168 is 19/18984
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 226,168 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(226,168) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(226,168) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(226,168) = ( 226 × 168 ) / 2
LCM(226,168) = 37968 / 2
LCM(226,168) = 18984
