Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 276,4740 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 276,4740 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 540,946
2 | 540, 946 |
270, 473 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 270 x 473 = 255420
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/255420
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 276/540,4740/946 is 12/255420
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 540,946 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(540,946) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(540,946) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(540,946) = ( 540 × 946 ) / 2
LCM(540,946) = 510840 / 2
LCM(540,946) = 255420
