So the greatest common factor 545,3589 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 540,648
2 | 540, 648 |
2 | 270, 324 |
3 | 135, 162 |
3 | 45, 54 |
3 | 15, 18 |
5, 6 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 6 = 3240
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3240
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 545/540,3589/648 is 1/3240
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 540,648 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(540,648) = 108
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(540,648) x common factors =108 x 1 = 108
LCM(540,648) = ( 540 × 648 ) / 108
LCM(540,648) = 349920 / 108
LCM(540,648) = 3240
