Lets's calculate LCM of 216,3594
2 | 216, 3594 |
3 | 108, 1797 |
36, 599 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 36 x 599 = 129384
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/129384
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 237/216,9472/3594 is 1/129384
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 216,3594 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(216,3594) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(216,3594) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(216,3594) = ( 216 × 3594 ) / 6
LCM(216,3594) = 776304 / 6
LCM(216,3594) = 129384
