2 | 158, 2520 |
79, 1260 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 79 x 1260 = 199080
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/199080
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7887/158,1169/2520 is 1/199080
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 158,2520 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(158,2520) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(158,2520) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(158,2520) = ( 158 × 2520 ) / 2
LCM(158,2520) = 398160 / 2
LCM(158,2520) = 199080
