So the greatest common factor 821,432 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 506,284
2 | 506, 284 |
253, 142 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 253 x 142 = 71852
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/71852
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 821/506,432/284 is 1/71852
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 506,284 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(506,284) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(506,284) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(506,284) = ( 506 × 284 ) / 2
LCM(506,284) = 143704 / 2
LCM(506,284) = 71852
