1,13,683,8879
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 458,8879 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 458,8879 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,549
3 | 72, 549 |
3 | 24, 183 |
8, 61 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 8 x 61 = 4392
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4392
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 458/72,8879/549 is 1/4392
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 72,549 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,549) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(72,549) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(72,549) = ( 72 × 549 ) / 9
LCM(72,549) = 39528 / 9
LCM(72,549) = 4392
