So the greatest common factor 2227,6990 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 236,170
2 | 236, 170 |
118, 85 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 118 x 85 = 20060
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/20060
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2227/236,6990/170 is 1/20060
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 236,170 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(236,170) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(236,170) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(236,170) = ( 236 × 170 ) / 2
LCM(236,170) = 40120 / 2
LCM(236,170) = 20060
