So the greatest common factor 188,432 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 69,2043
3 | 69, 2043 |
23, 681 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 23 x 681 = 46989
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/46989
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 188/69,432/2043 is 4/46989
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 69,2043 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(69,2043) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(69,2043) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(69,2043) = ( 69 × 2043 ) / 3
LCM(69,2043) = 140967 / 3
LCM(69,2043) = 46989
