Lets's calculate LCM of 178,5974
2 | 178, 5974 |
89, 2987 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 89 x 2987 = 531686
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/531686
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 75/178,3820/5974 is 5/531686
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 178,5974 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(178,5974) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(178,5974) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(178,5974) = ( 178 × 5974 ) / 2
LCM(178,5974) = 1063372 / 2
LCM(178,5974) = 531686
