So the greatest common factor 363,3582 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 176,1516
2 | 176, 1516 |
2 | 88, 758 |
44, 379 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 44 x 379 = 66704
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/66704
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 363/176,3582/1516 is 3/66704
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 176,1516 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(176,1516) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(176,1516) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(176,1516) = ( 176 × 1516 ) / 4
LCM(176,1516) = 266816 / 4
LCM(176,1516) = 66704
