So the greatest common factor 886,528 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 78,172
2 | 78, 172 |
39, 86 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 39 x 86 = 6708
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/6708
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 886/78,528/172 is 2/6708
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 78,172 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(78,172) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(78,172) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(78,172) = ( 78 × 172 ) / 2
LCM(78,172) = 13416 / 2
LCM(78,172) = 6708
