Lets's calculate LCM of 176,522
2 | 176, 522 |
88, 261 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 88 x 261 = 45936
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/45936
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 874/176,119/522 is 1/45936
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 176,522 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(176,522) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(176,522) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(176,522) = ( 176 × 522 ) / 2
LCM(176,522) = 91872 / 2
LCM(176,522) = 45936
