Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1158,1088 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1158,1088 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 503,406
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 204218
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/204218
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1158/503,1088/406 is 2/204218
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 503,406 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(503,406) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(503,406) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(503,406) = ( 503 × 406 ) / 1
LCM(503,406) = 204218 / 1
LCM(503,406) = 204218
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
