Lets's calculate LCM of 565,165
5 | 565, 165 |
113, 33 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 113 x 33 = 18645
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/18645
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1572/565,3746/165 is 2/18645
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 565,165 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(565,165) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(565,165) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(565,165) = ( 565 × 165 ) / 5
LCM(565,165) = 93225 / 5
LCM(565,165) = 18645
