Lets's calculate LCM of 164,3470
2 | 164, 3470 |
82, 1735 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 82 x 1735 = 284540
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/284540
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9600/164,5990/3470 is 10/284540
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 164,3470 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(164,3470) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(164,3470) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(164,3470) = ( 164 × 3470 ) / 2
LCM(164,3470) = 569080 / 2
LCM(164,3470) = 284540
