Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4900,3208 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4900,3208 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 978,509
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 497802
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/497802
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4900/978,3208/509 is 4/497802
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 978,509 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(978,509) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(978,509) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(978,509) = ( 978 × 509 ) / 1
LCM(978,509) = 497802 / 1
LCM(978,509) = 497802
