So the greatest common factor 1431,2132 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 324,1238
2 | 324, 1238 |
162, 619 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 162 x 619 = 200556
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/200556
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1431/324,2132/1238 is 1/200556
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 324,1238 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(324,1238) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(324,1238) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(324,1238) = ( 324 × 1238 ) / 2
LCM(324,1238) = 401112 / 2
LCM(324,1238) = 200556
