So the greatest common factor 496,5056 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 203,116
29 | 203, 116 |
7, 4 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 29 x 7 x 4 = 812
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/812
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 496/203,5056/116 is 16/812
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 203,116 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(203,116) = 29
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(203,116) x common factors =29 x 1 = 29
LCM(203,116) = ( 203 × 116 ) / 29
LCM(203,116) = 23548 / 29
LCM(203,116) = 812
