So the greatest common factor 2174,4064 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 636,512
2 | 636, 512 |
2 | 318, 256 |
159, 128 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 159 x 128 = 81408
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/81408
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2174/636,4064/512 is 2/81408
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 636,512 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(636,512) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(636,512) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(636,512) = ( 636 × 512 ) / 4
LCM(636,512) = 325632 / 4
LCM(636,512) = 81408
