Lets's calculate LCM of 168,584
2 | 168, 584 |
2 | 84, 292 |
2 | 42, 146 |
21, 73 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 21 x 73 = 12264
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/12264
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2587/168,1748/584 is 1/12264
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 168,584 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(168,584) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(168,584) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(168,584) = ( 168 × 584 ) / 8
LCM(168,584) = 98112 / 8
LCM(168,584) = 12264
