So the greatest common factor 519,173 is 173.
Lets's calculate LCM of 896,664
2 | 896, 664 |
2 | 448, 332 |
2 | 224, 166 |
112, 83 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 112 x 83 = 74368
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 173/74368
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 519/896,173/664 is 173/74368
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 896,664 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(896,664) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(896,664) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(896,664) = ( 896 × 664 ) / 8
LCM(896,664) = 594944 / 8
LCM(896,664) = 74368
