We found the factors 170,3147 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 170,3147 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 244,490
2 | 244, 490 |
122, 245 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 122 x 245 = 59780
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/59780
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 170/244,3147/490 is 1/59780
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 244,490 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(244,490) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(244,490) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(244,490) = ( 244 × 490 ) / 2
LCM(244,490) = 119560 / 2
LCM(244,490) = 59780
