Lets's calculate LCM of 162,714
| 2 | 162, 714 |
| 3 | 81, 357 |
| 27, 119 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 27 x 119 = 19278
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/19278
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 592/162,3886/714 is 2/19278
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 162,714 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(162,714) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(162,714) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(162,714) = ( 162 × 714 ) / 6
LCM(162,714) = 115668 / 6
LCM(162,714) = 19278
