So the greatest common factor 155,2874 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 298,174
2 | 298, 174 |
149, 87 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 149 x 87 = 25926
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/25926
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 155/298,2874/174 is 1/25926
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 298,174 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(298,174) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(298,174) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(298,174) = ( 298 × 174 ) / 2
LCM(298,174) = 51852 / 2
LCM(298,174) = 25926
