Lets's calculate LCM of 236,7257
59 | 236, 7257 |
4, 123 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 59 x 4 x 123 = 29028
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/29028
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1603/236,7079/7257 is 1/29028
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 236,7257 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(236,7257) = 59
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(236,7257) x common factors =59 x 1 = 59
LCM(236,7257) = ( 236 × 7257 ) / 59
LCM(236,7257) = 1712652 / 59
LCM(236,7257) = 29028
