Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4138,5542 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4138,5542 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 292,486
2 | 292, 486 |
146, 243 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 146 x 243 = 70956
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/70956
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4138/292,5542/486 is 2/70956
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 292,486 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(292,486) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(292,486) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(292,486) = ( 292 × 486 ) / 2
LCM(292,486) = 141912 / 2
LCM(292,486) = 70956
