So the greatest common factor 8830,3332 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 253,176
11 | 253, 176 |
23, 16 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 23 x 16 = 4048
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/4048
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8830/253,3332/176 is 2/4048
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 253,176 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(253,176) = 11
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(253,176) x common factors =11 x 1 = 11
LCM(253,176) = ( 253 × 176 ) / 11
LCM(253,176) = 44528 / 11
LCM(253,176) = 4048
