So the greatest common factor 176,532 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 57,537
3 | 57, 537 |
19, 179 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 19 x 179 = 10203
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/10203
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 176/57,532/537 is 4/10203
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 57,537 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(57,537) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(57,537) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(57,537) = ( 57 × 537 ) / 3
LCM(57,537) = 30609 / 3
LCM(57,537) = 10203
