Lets's calculate LCM of 540,236
2 | 540, 236 |
2 | 270, 118 |
135, 59 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 135 x 59 = 31860
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/31860
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6381/540,9238/236 is 1/31860
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 540,236 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(540,236) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(540,236) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(540,236) = ( 540 × 236 ) / 4
LCM(540,236) = 127440 / 4
LCM(540,236) = 31860
