Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 477,179 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 477,179 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 326,256
2 | 326, 256 |
163, 128 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 163 x 128 = 41728
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/41728
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 477/326,179/256 is 1/41728
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 326,256 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(326,256) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(326,256) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(326,256) = ( 326 × 256 ) / 2
LCM(326,256) = 83456 / 2
LCM(326,256) = 41728
