Lets's calculate LCM of 230,1362
2 | 230, 1362 |
115, 681 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 115 x 681 = 156630
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/156630
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4256/230,8644/1362 is 4/156630
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 230,1362 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(230,1362) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(230,1362) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(230,1362) = ( 230 × 1362 ) / 2
LCM(230,1362) = 313260 / 2
LCM(230,1362) = 156630
