Lets's calculate LCM of 176,544
2 | 176, 544 |
2 | 88, 272 |
2 | 44, 136 |
2 | 22, 68 |
11, 34 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 11 x 34 = 5984
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5984
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 355/176,187/544 is 1/5984
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 176,544 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(176,544) = 16
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(176,544) x common factors =16 x 1 = 16
LCM(176,544) = ( 176 × 544 ) / 16
LCM(176,544) = 95744 / 16
LCM(176,544) = 5984
