Lets's calculate LCM of 236,847
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 199892
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/199892
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8362/236,5170/847 is 2/199892
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 236,847 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(236,847) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(236,847) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(236,847) = ( 236 × 847 ) / 1
LCM(236,847) = 199892 / 1
LCM(236,847) = 199892
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
