Lets's calculate LCM of 202,144
2 | 202, 144 |
101, 72 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 101 x 72 = 14544
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 18/14544
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3906/202,5526/144 is 18/14544
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 202,144 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(202,144) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(202,144) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(202,144) = ( 202 × 144 ) / 2
LCM(202,144) = 29088 / 2
LCM(202,144) = 14544
