So the greatest common factor 732,976 is 244.
Lets's calculate LCM of 226,140
2 | 226, 140 |
113, 70 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 113 x 70 = 15820
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 244/15820
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 732/226,976/140 is 244/15820
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 226,140 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(226,140) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(226,140) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(226,140) = ( 226 × 140 ) / 2
LCM(226,140) = 31640 / 2
LCM(226,140) = 15820
