So the greatest common factor 581,232 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 656,408
2 | 656, 408 |
2 | 328, 204 |
2 | 164, 102 |
82, 51 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 82 x 51 = 33456
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/33456
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 581/656,232/408 is 1/33456
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 656,408 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(656,408) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(656,408) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(656,408) = ( 656 × 408 ) / 8
LCM(656,408) = 267648 / 8
LCM(656,408) = 33456
