So the greatest common factor 668,224 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 236,607
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 143252
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/143252
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 668/236,224/607 is 4/143252
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 236,607 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(236,607) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(236,607) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(236,607) = ( 236 × 607 ) / 1
LCM(236,607) = 143252 / 1
LCM(236,607) = 143252
