Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 511,159 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 511,159 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 16,406
2 | 16, 406 |
8, 203 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 8 x 203 = 3248
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3248
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 511/16,159/406 is 1/3248
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 16,406 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(16,406) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(16,406) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(16,406) = ( 16 × 406 ) / 2
LCM(16,406) = 6496 / 2
LCM(16,406) = 3248
