Lets's calculate LCM of 118,170
2 | 118, 170 |
59, 85 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 59 x 85 = 10030
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/10030
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 185/118,5378/170 is 1/10030
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 118,170 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(118,170) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(118,170) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(118,170) = ( 118 × 170 ) / 2
LCM(118,170) = 20060 / 2
LCM(118,170) = 10030
