Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 447,156 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 447,156 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 558,332
2 | 558, 332 |
279, 166 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 279 x 166 = 92628
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/92628
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 447/558,156/332 is 3/92628
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 558,332 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(558,332) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(558,332) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(558,332) = ( 558 × 332 ) / 2
LCM(558,332) = 185256 / 2
LCM(558,332) = 92628
