So the greatest common factor 114,426 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 234,868
2 | 234, 868 |
117, 434 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 117 x 434 = 101556
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/101556
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 114/234,426/868 is 6/101556
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 234,868 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(234,868) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(234,868) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(234,868) = ( 234 × 868 ) / 2
LCM(234,868) = 203112 / 2
LCM(234,868) = 101556
