So the greatest common factor 176,368 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 534,540
2 | 534, 540 |
3 | 267, 270 |
89, 90 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 89 x 90 = 48060
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/48060
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 176/534,368/540 is 16/48060
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 534,540 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(534,540) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(534,540) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(534,540) = ( 534 × 540 ) / 6
LCM(534,540) = 288360 / 6
LCM(534,540) = 48060
