So the greatest common factor 6788,3264 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 59,177
59 | 59, 177 |
1, 3 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 59 x 1 x 3 = 177
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/177
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6788/59,3264/177 is 4/177
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 59,177 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(59,177) = 59
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(59,177) x common factors =59 x 1 = 59
LCM(59,177) = ( 59 × 177 ) / 59
LCM(59,177) = 10443 / 59
LCM(59,177) = 177
