Lets's calculate LCM of 238,7272
2 | 238, 7272 |
119, 3636 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 119 x 3636 = 865368
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/865368
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6276/238,8436/7272 is 12/865368
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 238,7272 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(238,7272) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(238,7272) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(238,7272) = ( 238 × 7272 ) / 2
LCM(238,7272) = 1730736 / 2
LCM(238,7272) = 865368
