Lets's calculate LCM of 159,848
53 | 159, 848 |
3, 16 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 53 x 3 x 16 = 2544
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2544
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8717/159,5809/848 is 1/2544
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 159,848 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(159,848) = 53
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(159,848) x common factors =53 x 1 = 53
LCM(159,848) = ( 159 × 848 ) / 53
LCM(159,848) = 134832 / 53
LCM(159,848) = 2544
