So the greatest common factor 3956,5776 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 229,1064
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 243656
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/243656
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3956/229,5776/1064 is 4/243656
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 229,1064 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(229,1064) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(229,1064) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(229,1064) = ( 229 × 1064 ) / 1
LCM(229,1064) = 243656 / 1
LCM(229,1064) = 243656
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
