So the greatest common factor 651,974 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 171,426
3 | 171, 426 |
57, 142 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 57 x 142 = 24282
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/24282
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 651/171,974/426 is 1/24282
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 171,426 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(171,426) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(171,426) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(171,426) = ( 171 × 426 ) / 3
LCM(171,426) = 72846 / 3
LCM(171,426) = 24282
