Lets's calculate LCM of 170,2188
2 | 170, 2188 |
85, 1094 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 85 x 1094 = 185980
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/185980
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1593/170,8444/2188 is 1/185980
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 170,2188 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(170,2188) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(170,2188) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(170,2188) = ( 170 × 2188 ) / 2
LCM(170,2188) = 371960 / 2
LCM(170,2188) = 185980
