So the greatest common factor 1218,1456 is 14.
Lets's calculate LCM of 15,635
| 5 | 15, 635 |
| 3, 127 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 3 x 127 = 1905
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/1905
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1218/15,1456/635 is 14/1905
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 15,635 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(15,635) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(15,635) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(15,635) = ( 15 × 635 ) / 5
LCM(15,635) = 9525 / 5
LCM(15,635) = 1905
