So the greatest common factor 394,4243 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 512,504
2 | 512, 504 |
2 | 256, 252 |
2 | 128, 126 |
64, 63 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 64 x 63 = 32256
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/32256
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 394/512,4243/504 is 1/32256
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 512,504 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(512,504) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(512,504) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(512,504) = ( 512 × 504 ) / 8
LCM(512,504) = 258048 / 8
LCM(512,504) = 32256
