So the greatest common factor 529,512 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 170,502
2 | 170, 502 |
85, 251 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 85 x 251 = 42670
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/42670
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 529/170,512/502 is 1/42670
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 170,502 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(170,502) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(170,502) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(170,502) = ( 170 × 502 ) / 2
LCM(170,502) = 85340 / 2
LCM(170,502) = 42670
