Lets's calculate LCM of 168,8504
2 | 168, 8504 |
2 | 84, 4252 |
2 | 42, 2126 |
21, 1063 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 21 x 1063 = 178584
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/178584
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4515/168,3470/8504 is 5/178584
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 168,8504 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(168,8504) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(168,8504) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(168,8504) = ( 168 × 8504 ) / 8
LCM(168,8504) = 1428672 / 8
LCM(168,8504) = 178584
