Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 466,956 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 466,956 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 364,578
2 | 364, 578 |
182, 289 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 182 x 289 = 105196
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/105196
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 466/364,956/578 is 2/105196
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 364,578 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(364,578) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(364,578) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(364,578) = ( 364 × 578 ) / 2
LCM(364,578) = 210392 / 2
LCM(364,578) = 105196
