Lets's calculate LCM of 184,368
| 2 | 184, 368 |
| 2 | 92, 184 |
| 2 | 46, 92 |
| 23 | 23, 46 |
| 1, 2 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 23 x 1 x 2 = 368
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/368
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7287/184,2818/368 is 1/368
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 184,368 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(184,368) = 184
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(184,368) x common factors =184 x 1 = 184
LCM(184,368) = ( 184 × 368 ) / 184
LCM(184,368) = 67712 / 184
LCM(184,368) = 368
