So the greatest common factor 972,364 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 150,567
3 | 150, 567 |
50, 189 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 50 x 189 = 28350
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/28350
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 972/150,364/567 is 4/28350
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 150,567 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(150,567) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(150,567) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(150,567) = ( 150 × 567 ) / 3
LCM(150,567) = 85050 / 3
LCM(150,567) = 28350
