So the greatest common factor 974,505 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 170,572
2 | 170, 572 |
85, 286 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 85 x 286 = 48620
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/48620
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 974/170,505/572 is 1/48620
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 170,572 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(170,572) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(170,572) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(170,572) = ( 170 × 572 ) / 2
LCM(170,572) = 97240 / 2
LCM(170,572) = 48620
