Lets's calculate LCM of 160,596
2 | 160, 596 |
2 | 80, 298 |
40, 149 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 40 x 149 = 23840
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/23840
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 882/160,621/596 is 9/23840
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 160,596 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(160,596) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(160,596) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(160,596) = ( 160 × 596 ) / 4
LCM(160,596) = 95360 / 4
LCM(160,596) = 23840
