Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 564,3286 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 564,3286 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 402,596
2 | 402, 596 |
201, 298 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 201 x 298 = 119796
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/119796
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 564/402,3286/596 is 2/119796
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 402,596 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(402,596) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(402,596) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(402,596) = ( 402 × 596 ) / 2
LCM(402,596) = 239592 / 2
LCM(402,596) = 119796
