So the greatest common factor 104,274 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 472,176
2 | 472, 176 |
2 | 236, 88 |
2 | 118, 44 |
59, 22 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 59 x 22 = 10384
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/10384
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 104/472,274/176 is 2/10384
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 472,176 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(472,176) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(472,176) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(472,176) = ( 472 × 176 ) / 8
LCM(472,176) = 83072 / 8
LCM(472,176) = 10384
