Lets's calculate LCM of 567,168
3 | 567, 168 |
7 | 189, 56 |
27, 8 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 7 x 27 x 8 = 4536
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4536
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 156/567,979/168 is 1/4536
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 567,168 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(567,168) = 21
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(567,168) x common factors =21 x 1 = 21
LCM(567,168) = ( 567 × 168 ) / 21
LCM(567,168) = 95256 / 21
LCM(567,168) = 4536
