Lets's calculate LCM of 233,2481
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 578073
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/578073
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3136/233,9606/2481 is 2/578073
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 233,2481 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(233,2481) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(233,2481) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(233,2481) = ( 233 × 2481 ) / 1
LCM(233,2481) = 578073 / 1
LCM(233,2481) = 578073
