1,2,4019,8038
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 506,8038 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 506,8038 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 667,2556
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1704852
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1704852
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 506/667,8038/2556 is 2/1704852
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 667,2556 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(667,2556) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(667,2556) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(667,2556) = ( 667 × 2556 ) / 1
LCM(667,2556) = 1704852 / 1
LCM(667,2556) = 1704852
