Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 148,703 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 148,703 is 37.
Lets's calculate LCM of 170,676
2 | 170, 676 |
85, 338 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 85 x 338 = 57460
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 37/57460
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 148/170,703/676 is 37/57460
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 170,676 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(170,676) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(170,676) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(170,676) = ( 170 × 676 ) / 2
LCM(170,676) = 114920 / 2
LCM(170,676) = 57460
