So the greatest common factor 6486,6038 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 400,324
2 | 400, 324 |
2 | 200, 162 |
100, 81 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 100 x 81 = 32400
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/32400
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6486/400,6038/324 is 2/32400
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 400,324 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(400,324) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(400,324) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(400,324) = ( 400 × 324 ) / 4
LCM(400,324) = 129600 / 4
LCM(400,324) = 32400
