1,1487
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3465,1487 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3465,1487 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 542,348
2 | 542, 348 |
271, 174 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 271 x 174 = 94308
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/94308
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3465/542,1487/348 is 1/94308
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 542,348 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(542,348) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(542,348) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(542,348) = ( 542 × 348 ) / 2
LCM(542,348) = 188616 / 2
LCM(542,348) = 94308
