1,2,1559,3118
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1667,3118 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1667,3118 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 258,549
3 | 258, 549 |
86, 183 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 86 x 183 = 47214
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/47214
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1667/258,3118/549 is 1/47214
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 258,549 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(258,549) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(258,549) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(258,549) = ( 258 × 549 ) / 3
LCM(258,549) = 141642 / 3
LCM(258,549) = 47214
