Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5331,5855 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5331,5855 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 170,346
2 | 170, 346 |
85, 173 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 85 x 173 = 29410
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/29410
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5331/170,5855/346 is 1/29410
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 170,346 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(170,346) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(170,346) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(170,346) = ( 170 × 346 ) / 2
LCM(170,346) = 58820 / 2
LCM(170,346) = 29410
