Lets's calculate LCM of 822,172
2 | 822, 172 |
411, 86 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 411 x 86 = 70692
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/70692
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 994/822,377/172 is 1/70692
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 822,172 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(822,172) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(822,172) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(822,172) = ( 822 × 172 ) / 2
LCM(822,172) = 141384 / 2
LCM(822,172) = 70692
