Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1578,1205 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1578,1205 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 406,2932
2 | 406, 2932 |
203, 1466 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 203 x 1466 = 595196
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/595196
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1578/406,1205/2932 is 1/595196
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 406,2932 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(406,2932) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(406,2932) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(406,2932) = ( 406 × 2932 ) / 2
LCM(406,2932) = 1190392 / 2
LCM(406,2932) = 595196
