So the greatest common factor 3658,1026 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 146,3506
2 | 146, 3506 |
73, 1753 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 73 x 1753 = 255938
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/255938
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3658/146,1026/3506 is 2/255938
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 146,3506 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(146,3506) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(146,3506) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(146,3506) = ( 146 × 3506 ) / 2
LCM(146,3506) = 511876 / 2
LCM(146,3506) = 255938
