So the greatest common factor 170,1340 is 10.
Lets's calculate LCM of 632,986
2 | 632, 986 |
316, 493 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 316 x 493 = 311576
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/311576
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 170/632,1340/986 is 10/311576
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 632,986 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(632,986) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(632,986) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(632,986) = ( 632 × 986 ) / 2
LCM(632,986) = 623152 / 2
LCM(632,986) = 311576
