2 | 478, 1506 |
239, 753 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 239 x 753 = 359934
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/359934
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 511/478,3196/1506 is 1/359934
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 478,1506 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(478,1506) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(478,1506) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(478,1506) = ( 478 × 1506 ) / 2
LCM(478,1506) = 719868 / 2
LCM(478,1506) = 359934
