Lets's calculate LCM of 450,174
2 | 450, 174 |
3 | 225, 87 |
75, 29 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 75 x 29 = 13050
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/13050
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4957/450,9971/174 is 1/13050
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 450,174 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(450,174) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(450,174) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(450,174) = ( 450 × 174 ) / 6
LCM(450,174) = 78300 / 6
LCM(450,174) = 13050
