So the greatest common factor 5078,1854 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 361,496
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 179056
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/179056
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5078/361,1854/496 is 2/179056
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 361,496 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(361,496) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(361,496) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(361,496) = ( 361 × 496 ) / 1
LCM(361,496) = 179056 / 1
LCM(361,496) = 179056
