So the greatest common factor 588,5166 is 42.
Lets's calculate LCM of 166,972
2 | 166, 972 |
83, 486 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 83 x 486 = 80676
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 42/80676
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 588/166,5166/972 is 42/80676
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 166,972 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(166,972) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(166,972) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(166,972) = ( 166 × 972 ) / 2
LCM(166,972) = 161352 / 2
LCM(166,972) = 80676
