Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 9604,8320 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 9604,8320 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 232,419
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 97208
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/97208
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9604/232,8320/419 is 4/97208
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 232,419 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(232,419) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(232,419) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(232,419) = ( 232 × 419 ) / 1
LCM(232,419) = 97208 / 1
LCM(232,419) = 97208
