So the greatest common factor 4006,1321 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 978,3236
2 | 978, 3236 |
489, 1618 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 489 x 1618 = 1582404
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1582404
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4006/978,1321/3236 is 1/1582404
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 978,3236 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(978,3236) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(978,3236) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(978,3236) = ( 978 × 3236 ) / 2
LCM(978,3236) = 3164808 / 2
LCM(978,3236) = 1582404
