Denominators are 154,3796
The GCF of 15,23 is 1 .
LCM of 154,3796 is 292292.
The greatest common factor of 15/154,23/3796 = [GCF of 15,23]/[LCM of 154,3796]= 1/292292
Therefore, the GCF of 15/154,23/3796 is 1/292292.
To find the highest common factor of 15,23, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 15 are 1, 3, 5, 15
The factors of 23 are 1, 23
The HCF of 15,23 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 15,23
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Lets's calculate LCM of 154,3796
2 | 154, 3796 |
77, 1898 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 77 x 1898 = 292292
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/292292
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 15/154,23/3796 is 1/292292
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 154,3796 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(154,3796) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(154,3796) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(154,3796) = ( 154 × 3796 ) / 2
LCM(154,3796) = 584584 / 2
LCM(154,3796) = 292292
