Lets's calculate LCM of 236,803
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 189508
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/189508
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2156/236,6572/803 is 4/189508
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 236,803 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(236,803) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(236,803) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(236,803) = ( 236 × 803 ) / 1
LCM(236,803) = 189508 / 1
LCM(236,803) = 189508
