So the greatest common factor 3622,2076 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 162,993
3 | 162, 993 |
54, 331 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 54 x 331 = 53622
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/53622
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3622/162,2076/993 is 2/53622
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 162,993 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(162,993) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(162,993) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(162,993) = ( 162 × 993 ) / 3
LCM(162,993) = 160866 / 3
LCM(162,993) = 53622
