1,3,1181,3543
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2544,3543 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2544,3543 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 60,354
2 | 60, 354 |
3 | 30, 177 |
10, 59 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 10 x 59 = 3540
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/3540
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2544/60,3543/354 is 3/3540
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 60,354 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(60,354) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(60,354) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(60,354) = ( 60 × 354 ) / 6
LCM(60,354) = 21240 / 6
LCM(60,354) = 3540
