Lets's calculate LCM of 172,5942
2 | 172, 5942 |
86, 2971 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 86 x 2971 = 511012
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/511012
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1901/172,6334/5942 is 1/511012
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 172,5942 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(172,5942) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(172,5942) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(172,5942) = ( 172 × 5942 ) / 2
LCM(172,5942) = 1022024 / 2
LCM(172,5942) = 511012
