Lets's calculate LCM of 162,118
2 | 162, 118 |
81, 59 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 81 x 59 = 9558
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/9558
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7576/162,7872/118 is 8/9558
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 162,118 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(162,118) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(162,118) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(162,118) = ( 162 × 118 ) / 2
LCM(162,118) = 19116 / 2
LCM(162,118) = 9558
