We found the factors 316,480 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 316,480 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 558,406
2 | 558, 406 |
279, 203 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 279 x 203 = 113274
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/113274
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 316/558,480/406 is 4/113274
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 558,406 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(558,406) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(558,406) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(558,406) = ( 558 × 406 ) / 2
LCM(558,406) = 226548 / 2
LCM(558,406) = 113274
