Lets's calculate LCM of 158,988
2 | 158, 988 |
79, 494 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 79 x 494 = 78052
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/78052
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8583/158,3645/988 is 3/78052
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 158,988 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(158,988) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(158,988) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(158,988) = ( 158 × 988 ) / 2
LCM(158,988) = 156104 / 2
LCM(158,988) = 78052
