So the greatest common factor 874,414 is 46.
Lets's calculate LCM of 38,236
2 | 38, 236 |
19, 118 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 19 x 118 = 4484
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 46/4484
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 874/38,414/236 is 46/4484
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 38,236 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(38,236) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(38,236) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(38,236) = ( 38 × 236 ) / 2
LCM(38,236) = 8968 / 2
LCM(38,236) = 4484
