Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 510,879 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 510,879 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 254,624
2 | 254, 624 |
127, 312 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 127 x 312 = 79248
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/79248
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 510/254,879/624 is 3/79248
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 254,624 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(254,624) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(254,624) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(254,624) = ( 254 × 624 ) / 2
LCM(254,624) = 158496 / 2
LCM(254,624) = 79248
