So the greatest common factor 602,734 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 147,117
3 | 147, 117 |
49, 39 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 49 x 39 = 5733
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/5733
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 602/147,734/117 is 2/5733
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 147,117 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(147,117) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(147,117) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(147,117) = ( 147 × 117 ) / 3
LCM(147,117) = 17199 / 3
LCM(147,117) = 5733
