Lets's calculate LCM of 885,177
3 | 885, 177 |
59 | 295, 59 |
5, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 59 x 5 x 1 = 885
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/885
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 244/885,956/177 is 4/885
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 885,177 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(885,177) = 177
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(885,177) x common factors =177 x 1 = 177
LCM(885,177) = ( 885 × 177 ) / 177
LCM(885,177) = 156645 / 177
LCM(885,177) = 885
