Lets's calculate LCM of 6496,2978
2 | 6496, 2978 |
3248, 1489 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3248 x 1489 = 9672544
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/9672544
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 356/6496,556/2978 is 4/9672544
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 6496,2978 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(6496,2978) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(6496,2978) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(6496,2978) = ( 6496 × 2978 ) / 2
LCM(6496,2978) = 19345088 / 2
LCM(6496,2978) = 9672544
