Now, list down the factors of 170
:1,2,5,10,17,34,85,170
Now, list down the factors of 474
:1,2,3,6,79,158,237,474
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 170,474 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 170,474 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 53,3190
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 169070
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/169070
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 170/53,474/3190 is 2/169070
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 53,3190 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(53,3190) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(53,3190) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(53,3190) = ( 53 × 3190 ) / 1
LCM(53,3190) = 169070 / 1
LCM(53,3190) = 169070
