So the greatest common factor 2178,8363 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 516,404
2 | 516, 404 |
2 | 258, 202 |
129, 101 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 129 x 101 = 52116
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/52116
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2178/516,8363/404 is 1/52116
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 516,404 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(516,404) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(516,404) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(516,404) = ( 516 × 404 ) / 4
LCM(516,404) = 208464 / 4
LCM(516,404) = 52116
