Lets's calculate LCM of 228,242
2 | 228, 242 |
114, 121 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 114 x 121 = 27588
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/27588
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9615/228,3964/242 is 1/27588
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 228,242 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(228,242) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(228,242) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(228,242) = ( 228 × 242 ) / 2
LCM(228,242) = 55176 / 2
LCM(228,242) = 27588
