Lets's calculate LCM of 172,832
2 | 172, 832 |
2 | 86, 416 |
43, 208 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 43 x 208 = 35776
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/35776
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2839/172,8173/832 is 1/35776
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 172,832 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(172,832) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(172,832) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(172,832) = ( 172 × 832 ) / 4
LCM(172,832) = 143104 / 4
LCM(172,832) = 35776
