Lets's calculate GCF of 2404,1202
2 | 2404, 1202 |
601 | 1202, 601 |
2, 1 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 601 = 1202
Now, list down the factors of 2404
:1,2,4,601,1202,2404
Now, list down the factors of 1202
:1,2,601,1202
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2404,1202 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2404,1202 is 1202.
Lets's calculate LCM of 458,3252
2 | 458, 3252 |
229, 1626 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 229 x 1626 = 744708
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1202/744708
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2404/458,1202/3252 is 1202/744708
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 458,3252 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(458,3252) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(458,3252) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(458,3252) = ( 458 × 3252 ) / 2
LCM(458,3252) = 1489416 / 2
LCM(458,3252) = 744708
