So the greatest common factor 8666,3604 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 232,1149
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 266568
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/266568
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8666/232,3604/1149 is 2/266568
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 232,1149 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(232,1149) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(232,1149) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(232,1149) = ( 232 × 1149 ) / 1
LCM(232,1149) = 266568 / 1
LCM(232,1149) = 266568
