So the greatest common factor 655,7300 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 588,171
3 | 588, 171 |
196, 57 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 196 x 57 = 33516
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/33516
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 655/588,7300/171 is 5/33516
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 588,171 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(588,171) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(588,171) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(588,171) = ( 588 × 171 ) / 3
LCM(588,171) = 100548 / 3
LCM(588,171) = 33516
