So the greatest common factor 8936,7740 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 235,8632
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2028520
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/2028520
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8936/235,7740/8632 is 4/2028520
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 235,8632 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(235,8632) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(235,8632) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(235,8632) = ( 235 × 8632 ) / 1
LCM(235,8632) = 2028520 / 1
LCM(235,8632) = 2028520
