Lets's calculate LCM of 170,7176
2 | 170, 7176 |
85, 3588 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 85 x 3588 = 609960
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/609960
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5720/170,8599/7176 is 1/609960
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 170,7176 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(170,7176) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(170,7176) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(170,7176) = ( 170 × 7176 ) / 2
LCM(170,7176) = 1219920 / 2
LCM(170,7176) = 609960
