So the greatest common factor 590,1170 is 10.
Lets's calculate LCM of 382,272
2 | 382, 272 |
191, 136 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 191 x 136 = 51952
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/51952
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 590/382,1170/272 is 10/51952
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 382,272 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(382,272) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(382,272) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(382,272) = ( 382 × 272 ) / 2
LCM(382,272) = 103904 / 2
LCM(382,272) = 51952
