2 | 236, 7756 |
2 | 118, 3878 |
59, 1939 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 59 x 1939 = 457604
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/457604
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 82/236,1336/7756 is 2/457604
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 236,7756 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(236,7756) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(236,7756) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(236,7756) = ( 236 × 7756 ) / 4
LCM(236,7756) = 1830416 / 4
LCM(236,7756) = 457604
