We found the factors 2158,1654 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2158,1654 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 324,576
2 | 324, 576 |
2 | 162, 288 |
3 | 81, 144 |
3 | 27, 48 |
9, 16 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 9 x 16 = 5184
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/5184
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2158/324,1654/576 is 2/5184
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 324,576 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(324,576) = 36
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(324,576) x common factors =36 x 1 = 36
LCM(324,576) = ( 324 × 576 ) / 36
LCM(324,576) = 186624 / 36
LCM(324,576) = 5184
