So the greatest common factor 280,518 is 14.
Lets's calculate LCM of 960,236
2 | 960, 236 |
2 | 480, 118 |
240, 59 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 240 x 59 = 56640
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/56640
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 280/960,518/236 is 14/56640
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 960,236 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(960,236) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(960,236) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(960,236) = ( 960 × 236 ) / 4
LCM(960,236) = 226560 / 4
LCM(960,236) = 56640
