So the greatest common factor 3656,2512 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 508,667
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 338836
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/338836
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3656/508,2512/667 is 8/338836
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 508,667 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(508,667) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(508,667) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(508,667) = ( 508 × 667 ) / 1
LCM(508,667) = 338836 / 1
LCM(508,667) = 338836
