Lets's calculate LCM of 423,468
3 | 423, 468 |
3 | 141, 156 |
47, 52 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 47 x 52 = 21996
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/21996
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 237/423,1855/468 is 1/21996
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 423,468 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(423,468) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(423,468) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(423,468) = ( 423 × 468 ) / 9
LCM(423,468) = 197964 / 9
LCM(423,468) = 21996
