2 | 172, 934 |
86, 467 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 86 x 467 = 80324
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 23/80324
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 506/172,5359/934 is 23/80324
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 172,934 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(172,934) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(172,934) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(172,934) = ( 172 × 934 ) / 2
LCM(172,934) = 160648 / 2
LCM(172,934) = 80324
