Lets's calculate LCM of 816,176
2 | 816, 176 |
2 | 408, 88 |
2 | 204, 44 |
2 | 102, 22 |
51, 11 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 51 x 11 = 8976
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/8976
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5281/816,4730/176 is 1/8976
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 816,176 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(816,176) = 16
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(816,176) x common factors =16 x 1 = 16
LCM(816,176) = ( 816 × 176 ) / 16
LCM(816,176) = 143616 / 16
LCM(816,176) = 8976
