Lets's calculate LCM of 168,474
2 | 168, 474 |
3 | 84, 237 |
28, 79 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 28 x 79 = 13272
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/13272
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 761/168,6936/474 is 1/13272
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 168,474 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(168,474) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(168,474) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(168,474) = ( 168 × 474 ) / 6
LCM(168,474) = 79632 / 6
LCM(168,474) = 13272
