Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 540,5536 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 540,5536 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 31,696
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 21576
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/21576
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 540/31,5536/696 is 4/21576
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 31,696 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(31,696) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(31,696) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(31,696) = ( 31 × 696 ) / 1
LCM(31,696) = 21576 / 1
LCM(31,696) = 21576
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
