So the greatest common factor 407,516 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 258,418
2 | 258, 418 |
129, 209 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 129 x 209 = 53922
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/53922
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 407/258,516/418 is 1/53922
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 258,418 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(258,418) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(258,418) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(258,418) = ( 258 × 418 ) / 2
LCM(258,418) = 107844 / 2
LCM(258,418) = 53922
