So the greatest common factor 2718,5560 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 176,869
11 | 176, 869 |
16, 79 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 16 x 79 = 13904
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/13904
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2718/176,5560/869 is 2/13904
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 176,869 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(176,869) = 11
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(176,869) x common factors =11 x 1 = 11
LCM(176,869) = ( 176 × 869 ) / 11
LCM(176,869) = 152944 / 11
LCM(176,869) = 13904
