Lets's calculate LCM of 442,170
2 | 442, 170 |
17 | 221, 85 |
13, 5 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 17 x 13 x 5 = 2210
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2210
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2378/442,5835/170 is 1/2210
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 442,170 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(442,170) = 34
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(442,170) x common factors =34 x 1 = 34
LCM(442,170) = ( 442 × 170 ) / 34
LCM(442,170) = 75140 / 34
LCM(442,170) = 2210
