Lets's calculate LCM of 66,178
2 | 66, 178 |
33, 89 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 33 x 89 = 5874
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/5874
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5296/66,3554/178 is 2/5874
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 66,178 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(66,178) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(66,178) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(66,178) = ( 66 × 178 ) / 2
LCM(66,178) = 11748 / 2
LCM(66,178) = 5874
