So the greatest common factor 423,256 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 50,638
2 | 50, 638 |
25, 319 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 25 x 319 = 15950
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/15950
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 423/50,256/638 is 1/15950
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 50,638 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(50,638) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(50,638) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(50,638) = ( 50 × 638 ) / 2
LCM(50,638) = 31900 / 2
LCM(50,638) = 15950
