1,11,223,2453
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2940,2453 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2940,2453 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 942,550
2 | 942, 550 |
471, 275 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 471 x 275 = 259050
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/259050
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2940/942,2453/550 is 1/259050
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 942,550 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(942,550) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(942,550) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(942,550) = ( 942 × 550 ) / 2
LCM(942,550) = 518100 / 2
LCM(942,550) = 259050
