Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 544,254 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 544,254 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 519,126
3 | 519, 126 |
173, 42 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 173 x 42 = 21798
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/21798
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 544/519,254/126 is 2/21798
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 519,126 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(519,126) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(519,126) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(519,126) = ( 519 × 126 ) / 3
LCM(519,126) = 65394 / 3
LCM(519,126) = 21798
