So the greatest common factor 292,2020 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 237,615
3 | 237, 615 |
79, 205 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 79 x 205 = 48585
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/48585
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 292/237,2020/615 is 4/48585
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 237,615 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(237,615) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(237,615) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(237,615) = ( 237 × 615 ) / 3
LCM(237,615) = 145755 / 3
LCM(237,615) = 48585
