So the greatest common factor 167,473 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 48,7308
2 | 48, 7308 |
2 | 24, 3654 |
3 | 12, 1827 |
4, 609 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 609 = 29232
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/29232
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 167/48,473/7308 is 1/29232
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 48,7308 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(48,7308) = 12
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(48,7308) x common factors =12 x 1 = 12
LCM(48,7308) = ( 48 × 7308 ) / 12
LCM(48,7308) = 350784 / 12
LCM(48,7308) = 29232
