Lets's calculate LCM of 172,516
2 | 172, 516 |
2 | 86, 258 |
43 | 43, 129 |
1, 3 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 43 x 1 x 3 = 516
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/516
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 308/172,223/516 is 1/516
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 172,516 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(172,516) = 172
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(172,516) x common factors =172 x 1 = 172
LCM(172,516) = ( 172 × 516 ) / 172
LCM(172,516) = 88752 / 172
LCM(172,516) = 516
