Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1156,1498 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1156,1498 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 978,2832
2 | 978, 2832 |
3 | 489, 1416 |
163, 472 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 163 x 472 = 461616
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/461616
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1156/978,1498/2832 is 2/461616
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 978,2832 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(978,2832) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(978,2832) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(978,2832) = ( 978 × 2832 ) / 6
LCM(978,2832) = 2769696 / 6
LCM(978,2832) = 461616
