So the greatest common factor 244,240 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 38,2146
2 | 38, 2146 |
19, 1073 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 19 x 1073 = 40774
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/40774
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 244/38,240/2146 is 4/40774
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 38,2146 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(38,2146) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(38,2146) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(38,2146) = ( 38 × 2146 ) / 2
LCM(38,2146) = 81548 / 2
LCM(38,2146) = 40774
