Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4541,2414 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4541,2414 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 542,308
2 | 542, 308 |
271, 154 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 271 x 154 = 83468
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/83468
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4541/542,2414/308 is 1/83468
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 542,308 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(542,308) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(542,308) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(542,308) = ( 542 × 308 ) / 2
LCM(542,308) = 166936 / 2
LCM(542,308) = 83468
