Lets's calculate LCM of 236,6652
2 | 236, 6652 |
2 | 118, 3326 |
59, 1663 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 59 x 1663 = 392468
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/392468
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5656/236,8905/6652 is 1/392468
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 236,6652 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(236,6652) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(236,6652) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(236,6652) = ( 236 × 6652 ) / 4
LCM(236,6652) = 1569872 / 4
LCM(236,6652) = 392468
