So the greatest common factor 2040,1612 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 181,362
181 | 181, 362 |
1, 2 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 181 x 1 x 2 = 362
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/362
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2040/181,1612/362 is 4/362
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 181,362 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(181,362) = 181
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(181,362) x common factors =181 x 1 = 181
LCM(181,362) = ( 181 × 362 ) / 181
LCM(181,362) = 65522 / 181
LCM(181,362) = 362
