Lets's calculate LCM of 68,224
2 | 68, 224 |
2 | 34, 112 |
17, 56 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 17 x 56 = 3808
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 19/3808
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4484/68,2261/224 is 19/3808
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 68,224 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(68,224) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(68,224) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(68,224) = ( 68 × 224 ) / 4
LCM(68,224) = 15232 / 4
LCM(68,224) = 3808
