So the greatest common factor 656,288 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 4254,5170
2 | 4254, 5170 |
2127, 2585 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2127 x 2585 = 10996590
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/10996590
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 656/4254,288/5170 is 16/10996590
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 4254,5170 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(4254,5170) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(4254,5170) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(4254,5170) = ( 4254 × 5170 ) / 2
LCM(4254,5170) = 21993180 / 2
LCM(4254,5170) = 10996590
