Lets's calculate LCM of 219,176
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 38544
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/38544
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2156/219,8732/176 is 4/38544
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 219,176 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(219,176) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(219,176) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(219,176) = ( 219 × 176 ) / 1
LCM(219,176) = 38544 / 1
LCM(219,176) = 38544
