So the greatest common factor 646,608 is 38.
Lets's calculate LCM of 92,236
2 | 92, 236 |
2 | 46, 118 |
23, 59 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 23 x 59 = 5428
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 38/5428
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 646/92,608/236 is 38/5428
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 92,236 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(92,236) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(92,236) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(92,236) = ( 92 × 236 ) / 4
LCM(92,236) = 21712 / 4
LCM(92,236) = 5428
