Lets's calculate LCM of 360,436
2 | 360, 436 |
2 | 180, 218 |
90, 109 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 90 x 109 = 39240
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/39240
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 368/360,225/436 is 1/39240
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 360,436 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(360,436) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(360,436) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(360,436) = ( 360 × 436 ) / 4
LCM(360,436) = 156960 / 4
LCM(360,436) = 39240
