Lets's calculate LCM of 158,1144
2 | 158, 1144 |
79, 572 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 79 x 572 = 90376
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/90376
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4168/158,7973/1144 is 1/90376
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 158,1144 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(158,1144) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(158,1144) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(158,1144) = ( 158 × 1144 ) / 2
LCM(158,1144) = 180752 / 2
LCM(158,1144) = 90376
