Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 609,1131 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 609,1131 is 87.
Lets's calculate LCM of 236,916
2 | 236, 916 |
2 | 118, 458 |
59, 229 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 59 x 229 = 54044
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 87/54044
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 609/236,1131/916 is 87/54044
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 236,916 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(236,916) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(236,916) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(236,916) = ( 236 × 916 ) / 4
LCM(236,916) = 216176 / 4
LCM(236,916) = 54044
