We found the factors 6702,5655 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6702,5655 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 174,8631
3 | 174, 8631 |
58, 2877 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 58 x 2877 = 500598
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/500598
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6702/174,5655/8631 is 3/500598
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 174,8631 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(174,8631) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(174,8631) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(174,8631) = ( 174 × 8631 ) / 3
LCM(174,8631) = 1501794 / 3
LCM(174,8631) = 500598
