Lets's calculate LCM of 542,619
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 335498
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/335498
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5262/542,1122/619 is 6/335498
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 542,619 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(542,619) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(542,619) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(542,619) = ( 542 × 619 ) / 1
LCM(542,619) = 335498 / 1
LCM(542,619) = 335498
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
