Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1678,1032 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1678,1032 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 301,5508
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1657908
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1657908
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1678/301,1032/5508 is 2/1657908
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 301,5508 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(301,5508) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(301,5508) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(301,5508) = ( 301 × 5508 ) / 1
LCM(301,5508) = 1657908 / 1
LCM(301,5508) = 1657908
