Lets's calculate LCM of 177,888
3 | 177, 888 |
59, 296 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 59 x 296 = 52392
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/52392
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 896/177,9264/888 is 16/52392
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 177,888 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(177,888) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(177,888) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(177,888) = ( 177 × 888 ) / 3
LCM(177,888) = 157176 / 3
LCM(177,888) = 52392
