So the greatest common factor 6826,5816 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 334,172
2 | 334, 172 |
167, 86 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 167 x 86 = 28724
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/28724
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6826/334,5816/172 is 2/28724
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 334,172 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(334,172) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(334,172) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(334,172) = ( 334 × 172 ) / 2
LCM(334,172) = 57448 / 2
LCM(334,172) = 28724
