We found the factors 369,8918 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 369,8918 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 489,1578
3 | 489, 1578 |
163, 526 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 163 x 526 = 257214
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/257214
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 369/489,8918/1578 is 1/257214
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 489,1578 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(489,1578) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(489,1578) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(489,1578) = ( 489 × 1578 ) / 3
LCM(489,1578) = 771642 / 3
LCM(489,1578) = 257214
