We found the factors 156,780 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 156,780 is 156.
Lets's calculate LCM of 166,992
2 | 166, 992 |
83, 496 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 83 x 496 = 82336
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 156/82336
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 156/166,780/992 is 156/82336
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 166,992 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(166,992) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(166,992) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(166,992) = ( 166 × 992 ) / 2
LCM(166,992) = 164672 / 2
LCM(166,992) = 82336
