Lets's calculate LCM of 236,612
2 | 236, 612 |
2 | 118, 306 |
59, 153 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 59 x 153 = 36108
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/36108
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 844/236,880/612 is 4/36108
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 236,612 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(236,612) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(236,612) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(236,612) = ( 236 × 612 ) / 4
LCM(236,612) = 144432 / 4
LCM(236,612) = 36108
