So the greatest common factor 8540,9084 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 20,236
2 | 20, 236 |
2 | 10, 118 |
5, 59 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 5 x 59 = 1180
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/1180
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8540/20,9084/236 is 4/1180
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 20,236 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(20,236) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(20,236) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(20,236) = ( 20 × 236 ) / 4
LCM(20,236) = 4720 / 4
LCM(20,236) = 1180
