Lets's calculate LCM of 236,127
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 29972
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/29972
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4646/236,9470/127 is 2/29972
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 236,127 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(236,127) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(236,127) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(236,127) = ( 236 × 127 ) / 1
LCM(236,127) = 29972 / 1
LCM(236,127) = 29972
