Lets's calculate LCM of 168,5954
2 | 168, 5954 |
84, 2977 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 84 x 2977 = 500136
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/500136
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8530/168,6578/5954 is 2/500136
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 168,5954 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(168,5954) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(168,5954) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(168,5954) = ( 168 × 5954 ) / 2
LCM(168,5954) = 1000272 / 2
LCM(168,5954) = 500136
