Lets's calculate LCM of 236,424
2 | 236, 424 |
2 | 118, 212 |
59, 106 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 59 x 106 = 25016
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/25016
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 663/236,456/424 is 3/25016
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 236,424 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(236,424) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(236,424) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(236,424) = ( 236 × 424 ) / 4
LCM(236,424) = 100064 / 4
LCM(236,424) = 25016
