So the greatest common factor 881,288 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,236
2 | 42, 236 |
21, 118 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 21 x 118 = 4956
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4956
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 881/42,288/236 is 1/4956
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 42,236 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,236) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,236) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(42,236) = ( 42 × 236 ) / 2
LCM(42,236) = 9912 / 2
LCM(42,236) = 4956
