So the greatest common factor 9437,7504 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 600,178
2 | 600, 178 |
300, 89 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 300 x 89 = 53400
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/53400
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9437/600,7504/178 is 1/53400
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 600,178 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(600,178) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(600,178) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(600,178) = ( 600 × 178 ) / 2
LCM(600,178) = 106800 / 2
LCM(600,178) = 53400
