Lets's calculate LCM of 374,153
17 | 374, 153 |
22, 9 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 17 x 22 x 9 = 3366
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3366
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 166/374,438/153 is 2/3366
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 374,153 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(374,153) = 17
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(374,153) x common factors =17 x 1 = 17
LCM(374,153) = ( 374 × 153 ) / 17
LCM(374,153) = 57222 / 17
LCM(374,153) = 3366
