So the greatest common factor 348,602 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 504,168
2 | 504, 168 |
2 | 252, 84 |
2 | 126, 42 |
3 | 63, 21 |
7 | 7, 21 |
1, 3 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 1 x 3 = 504
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/504
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 348/504,602/168 is 2/504
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 504,168 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(504,168) = 168
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(504,168) x common factors =168 x 1 = 168
LCM(504,168) = ( 504 × 168 ) / 168
LCM(504,168) = 84672 / 168
LCM(504,168) = 504
