Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3575,9920 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3575,9920 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 732,542
2 | 732, 542 |
366, 271 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 366 x 271 = 198372
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/198372
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3575/732,9920/542 is 5/198372
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 732,542 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(732,542) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(732,542) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(732,542) = ( 732 × 542 ) / 2
LCM(732,542) = 396744 / 2
LCM(732,542) = 198372
