So the greatest common factor 940,8757 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 168,888
2 | 168, 888 |
2 | 84, 444 |
2 | 42, 222 |
3 | 21, 111 |
7, 37 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 37 = 6216
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/6216
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 940/168,8757/888 is 1/6216
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 168,888 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(168,888) = 24
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(168,888) x common factors =24 x 1 = 24
LCM(168,888) = ( 168 × 888 ) / 24
LCM(168,888) = 149184 / 24
LCM(168,888) = 6216
