Lets's calculate LCM of 168,8973
3 | 168, 8973 |
56, 2991 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 56 x 2991 = 502488
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/502488
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2932/168,3032/8973 is 4/502488
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 168,8973 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(168,8973) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(168,8973) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(168,8973) = ( 168 × 8973 ) / 3
LCM(168,8973) = 1507464 / 3
LCM(168,8973) = 502488
