So the greatest common factor 2826,8096 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 188,178
2 | 188, 178 |
94, 89 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 94 x 89 = 16732
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/16732
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2826/188,8096/178 is 2/16732
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 188,178 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(188,178) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(188,178) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(188,178) = ( 188 × 178 ) / 2
LCM(188,178) = 33464 / 2
LCM(188,178) = 16732
