Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 492,3348 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 492,3348 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 60,529
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 31740
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/31740
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 492/60,3348/529 is 12/31740
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 60,529 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(60,529) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(60,529) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(60,529) = ( 60 × 529 ) / 1
LCM(60,529) = 31740 / 1
LCM(60,529) = 31740
