Lets's calculate LCM of 356,984
2 | 356, 984 |
2 | 178, 492 |
89, 246 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 89 x 246 = 87576
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/87576
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 165/356,587/984 is 1/87576
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 356,984 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(356,984) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(356,984) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(356,984) = ( 356 × 984 ) / 4
LCM(356,984) = 350304 / 4
LCM(356,984) = 87576
