So the greatest common factor 5901,1691 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 184,916
2 | 184, 916 |
2 | 92, 458 |
46, 229 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 46 x 229 = 42136
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/42136
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5901/184,1691/916 is 1/42136
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 184,916 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(184,916) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(184,916) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(184,916) = ( 184 × 916 ) / 4
LCM(184,916) = 168544 / 4
LCM(184,916) = 42136
