So the greatest common factor 177,889 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 345,490
5 | 345, 490 |
69, 98 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 69 x 98 = 33810
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/33810
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 177/345,889/490 is 1/33810
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 345,490 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(345,490) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(345,490) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(345,490) = ( 345 × 490 ) / 5
LCM(345,490) = 169050 / 5
LCM(345,490) = 33810
