2 | 224, 3620 |
2 | 112, 1810 |
56, 905 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 56 x 905 = 202720
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/202720
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 36/224,3453/3620 is 3/202720
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 224,3620 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(224,3620) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(224,3620) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(224,3620) = ( 224 × 3620 ) / 4
LCM(224,3620) = 810880 / 4
LCM(224,3620) = 202720
