So the greatest common factor 946,990 is 22.
Lets's calculate LCM of 652,168
2 | 652, 168 |
2 | 326, 84 |
163, 42 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 163 x 42 = 27384
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 22/27384
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 946/652,990/168 is 22/27384
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 652,168 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(652,168) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(652,168) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(652,168) = ( 652 × 168 ) / 4
LCM(652,168) = 109536 / 4
LCM(652,168) = 27384
