So the greatest common factor 206,960 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 866,172
2 | 866, 172 |
433, 86 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 433 x 86 = 74476
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/74476
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 206/866,960/172 is 2/74476
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 866,172 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(866,172) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(866,172) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(866,172) = ( 866 × 172 ) / 2
LCM(866,172) = 148952 / 2
LCM(866,172) = 74476
