Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 491,5308 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 491,5308 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 324,388
2 | 324, 388 |
2 | 162, 194 |
81, 97 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 81 x 97 = 31428
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/31428
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 491/324,5308/388 is 1/31428
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 324,388 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(324,388) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(324,388) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(324,388) = ( 324 × 388 ) / 4
LCM(324,388) = 125712 / 4
LCM(324,388) = 31428
