Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1529,8240 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1529,8240 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 32,538
2 | 32, 538 |
16, 269 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 16 x 269 = 8608
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/8608
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1529/32,8240/538 is 1/8608
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 32,538 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(32,538) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(32,538) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(32,538) = ( 32 × 538 ) / 2
LCM(32,538) = 17216 / 2
LCM(32,538) = 8608
