We found the factors 164,540 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 164,540 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 334,734
2 | 334, 734 |
167, 367 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 167 x 367 = 122578
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/122578
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 164/334,540/734 is 4/122578
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 334,734 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(334,734) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(334,734) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(334,734) = ( 334 × 734 ) / 2
LCM(334,734) = 245156 / 2
LCM(334,734) = 122578
