Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 576,5638 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 576,5638 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 336,278
2 | 336, 278 |
168, 139 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 168 x 139 = 46704
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/46704
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 576/336,5638/278 is 2/46704
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 336,278 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(336,278) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(336,278) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(336,278) = ( 336 × 278 ) / 2
LCM(336,278) = 93408 / 2
LCM(336,278) = 46704
