So the greatest common factor 548,440 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 26,434
2 | 26, 434 |
13, 217 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 13 x 217 = 5642
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/5642
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 548/26,440/434 is 4/5642
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 26,434 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(26,434) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(26,434) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(26,434) = ( 26 × 434 ) / 2
LCM(26,434) = 11284 / 2
LCM(26,434) = 5642
