So the greatest common factor 2587,1666 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 664,2904
2 | 664, 2904 |
2 | 332, 1452 |
2 | 166, 726 |
83, 363 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 83 x 363 = 241032
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/241032
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2587/664,1666/2904 is 1/241032
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 664,2904 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(664,2904) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(664,2904) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(664,2904) = ( 664 × 2904 ) / 8
LCM(664,2904) = 1928256 / 8
LCM(664,2904) = 241032
