Lets's calculate LCM of 170,260
2 | 170, 260 |
5 | 85, 130 |
17, 26 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 17 x 26 = 4420
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4420
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3143/170,7884/260 is 1/4420
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 170,260 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(170,260) = 10
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(170,260) x common factors =10 x 1 = 10
LCM(170,260) = ( 170 × 260 ) / 10
LCM(170,260) = 44200 / 10
LCM(170,260) = 4420
