So the greatest common factor 230,874 is 46.
Lets's calculate LCM of 442,632
2 | 442, 632 |
221, 316 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 221 x 316 = 139672
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 46/139672
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 230/442,874/632 is 46/139672
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 442,632 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(442,632) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(442,632) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(442,632) = ( 442 × 632 ) / 2
LCM(442,632) = 279344 / 2
LCM(442,632) = 139672
