So the greatest common factor 338,414 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 236,282
2 | 236, 282 |
118, 141 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 118 x 141 = 33276
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/33276
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 338/236,414/282 is 2/33276
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 236,282 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(236,282) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(236,282) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(236,282) = ( 236 × 282 ) / 2
LCM(236,282) = 66552 / 2
LCM(236,282) = 33276
