Lets's calculate LCM of 181,234
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 42354
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/42354
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 337/181,5238/234 is 1/42354
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 181,234 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(181,234) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(181,234) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(181,234) = ( 181 × 234 ) / 1
LCM(181,234) = 42354 / 1
LCM(181,234) = 42354
