Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 208,458 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 208,458 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 558,106
2 | 558, 106 |
279, 53 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 279 x 53 = 29574
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/29574
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 208/558,458/106 is 2/29574
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 558,106 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(558,106) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(558,106) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(558,106) = ( 558 × 106 ) / 2
LCM(558,106) = 59148 / 2
LCM(558,106) = 29574
