Lets's calculate LCM of 235,976
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 229360
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/229360
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5740/235,4614/976 is 2/229360
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 235,976 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(235,976) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(235,976) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(235,976) = ( 235 × 976 ) / 1
LCM(235,976) = 229360 / 1
LCM(235,976) = 229360
