Lets's calculate LCM of 232,272
2 | 232, 272 |
2 | 116, 136 |
2 | 58, 68 |
29, 34 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 29 x 34 = 7888
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/7888
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7115/232,9737/272 is 1/7888
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 232,272 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(232,272) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(232,272) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(232,272) = ( 232 × 272 ) / 8
LCM(232,272) = 63104 / 8
LCM(232,272) = 7888
