So the greatest common factor 163,286 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 872,472
2 | 872, 472 |
2 | 436, 236 |
2 | 218, 118 |
109, 59 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 109 x 59 = 51448
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/51448
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 163/872,286/472 is 1/51448
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 872,472 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(872,472) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(872,472) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(872,472) = ( 872 × 472 ) / 8
LCM(872,472) = 411584 / 8
LCM(872,472) = 51448
