So the greatest common factor 173,834 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 974,128
2 | 974, 128 |
487, 64 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 487 x 64 = 62336
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/62336
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 173/974,834/128 is 1/62336
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 974,128 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(974,128) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(974,128) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(974,128) = ( 974 × 128 ) / 2
LCM(974,128) = 124672 / 2
LCM(974,128) = 62336
