Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4157,3537 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4157,3537 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 244,360
2 | 244, 360 |
2 | 122, 180 |
61, 90 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 61 x 90 = 21960
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/21960
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4157/244,3537/360 is 1/21960
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 244,360 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(244,360) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(244,360) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(244,360) = ( 244 × 360 ) / 4
LCM(244,360) = 87840 / 4
LCM(244,360) = 21960
