So the greatest common factor 4436,7086 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 214,144
2 | 214, 144 |
107, 72 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 107 x 72 = 15408
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/15408
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4436/214,7086/144 is 2/15408
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 214,144 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(214,144) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(214,144) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(214,144) = ( 214 × 144 ) / 2
LCM(214,144) = 30816 / 2
LCM(214,144) = 15408
