So the greatest common factor 2530,5978 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 28,176
2 | 28, 176 |
2 | 14, 88 |
7, 44 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 7 x 44 = 1232
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1232
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2530/28,5978/176 is 2/1232
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 28,176 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(28,176) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(28,176) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(28,176) = ( 28 × 176 ) / 4
LCM(28,176) = 4928 / 4
LCM(28,176) = 1232
