Lets's calculate LCM of 147,2868
3 | 147, 2868 |
49, 956 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 49 x 956 = 140532
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/140532
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 176/147,4169/2868 is 11/140532
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 147,2868 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(147,2868) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(147,2868) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(147,2868) = ( 147 × 2868 ) / 3
LCM(147,2868) = 421596 / 3
LCM(147,2868) = 140532
