Lets's calculate LCM of 208,7160
2 | 208, 7160 |
2 | 104, 3580 |
2 | 52, 1790 |
26, 895 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 26 x 895 = 186160
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 37/186160
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1776/208,8621/7160 is 37/186160
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 208,7160 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(208,7160) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(208,7160) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(208,7160) = ( 208 × 7160 ) / 8
LCM(208,7160) = 1489280 / 8
LCM(208,7160) = 186160
