Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 464,9360 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 464,9360 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 636,578
2 | 636, 578 |
318, 289 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 318 x 289 = 183804
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/183804
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 464/636,9360/578 is 16/183804
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 636,578 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(636,578) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(636,578) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(636,578) = ( 636 × 578 ) / 2
LCM(636,578) = 367608 / 2
LCM(636,578) = 183804
