So the greatest common factor 236,9452 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 224,800
2 | 224, 800 |
2 | 112, 400 |
2 | 56, 200 |
2 | 28, 100 |
2 | 14, 50 |
7, 25 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 7 x 25 = 5600
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/5600
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 236/224,9452/800 is 4/5600
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 224,800 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(224,800) = 32
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(224,800) x common factors =32 x 1 = 32
LCM(224,800) = ( 224 × 800 ) / 32
LCM(224,800) = 179200 / 32
LCM(224,800) = 5600
