So the greatest common factor 442,816 is 34.
Lets's calculate LCM of 164,502
2 | 164, 502 |
82, 251 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 82 x 251 = 41164
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 34/41164
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 442/164,816/502 is 34/41164
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 164,502 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(164,502) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(164,502) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(164,502) = ( 164 × 502 ) / 2
LCM(164,502) = 82328 / 2
LCM(164,502) = 41164
