So the greatest common factor 8533,2730 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 342,166
| 2 | 342, 166 |
| 171, 83 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 171 x 83 = 28386
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/28386
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8533/342,2730/166 is 7/28386
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 342,166 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(342,166) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(342,166) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(342,166) = ( 342 × 166 ) / 2
LCM(342,166) = 56772 / 2
LCM(342,166) = 28386
