Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7036,1278 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7036,1278 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 878,426
2 | 878, 426 |
439, 213 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 439 x 213 = 187014
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/187014
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7036/878,1278/426 is 2/187014
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 878,426 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(878,426) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(878,426) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(878,426) = ( 878 × 426 ) / 2
LCM(878,426) = 374028 / 2
LCM(878,426) = 187014
