We found the factors 512,6424 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 512,6424 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 254,796
2 | 254, 796 |
127, 398 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 127 x 398 = 101092
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/101092
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 512/254,6424/796 is 8/101092
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 254,796 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(254,796) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(254,796) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(254,796) = ( 254 × 796 ) / 2
LCM(254,796) = 202184 / 2
LCM(254,796) = 101092
