Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3278,5418 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3278,5418 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 504,218
2 | 504, 218 |
252, 109 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 252 x 109 = 54936
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/54936
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3278/504,5418/218 is 2/54936
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 504,218 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(504,218) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(504,218) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(504,218) = ( 504 × 218 ) / 2
LCM(504,218) = 109872 / 2
LCM(504,218) = 54936
