Lets's calculate LCM of 423,235
47 | 423, 235 |
9, 5 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 47 x 9 x 5 = 2115
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2115
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8198/423,1462/235 is 2/2115
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 423,235 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(423,235) = 47
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(423,235) x common factors =47 x 1 = 47
LCM(423,235) = ( 423 × 235 ) / 47
LCM(423,235) = 99405 / 47
LCM(423,235) = 2115
