Lets's calculate LCM of 170,586
2 | 170, 586 |
85, 293 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 85 x 293 = 49810
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/49810
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4662/170,1167/586 is 3/49810
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 170,586 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(170,586) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(170,586) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(170,586) = ( 170 × 586 ) / 2
LCM(170,586) = 99620 / 2
LCM(170,586) = 49810
