Lets's calculate LCM of 162,5156
2 | 162, 5156 |
81, 2578 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 81 x 2578 = 417636
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/417636
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8517/162,1337/5156 is 1/417636
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 162,5156 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(162,5156) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(162,5156) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(162,5156) = ( 162 × 5156 ) / 2
LCM(162,5156) = 835272 / 2
LCM(162,5156) = 417636
