Lets's calculate LCM of 272,3236
2 | 272, 3236 |
2 | 136, 1618 |
68, 809 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 68 x 809 = 220048
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/220048
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 432/272,8632/3236 is 8/220048
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 272,3236 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(272,3236) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(272,3236) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(272,3236) = ( 272 × 3236 ) / 4
LCM(272,3236) = 880192 / 4
LCM(272,3236) = 220048
