So the greatest common factor 161,953 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 732,996
2 | 732, 996 |
2 | 366, 498 |
3 | 183, 249 |
61, 83 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 61 x 83 = 60756
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/60756
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 161/732,953/996 is 1/60756
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 732,996 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(732,996) = 12
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(732,996) x common factors =12 x 1 = 12
LCM(732,996) = ( 732 × 996 ) / 12
LCM(732,996) = 729072 / 12
LCM(732,996) = 60756
