We found the factors 548,4312 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 548,4312 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 600,459
3 | 600, 459 |
200, 153 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 200 x 153 = 91800
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/91800
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 548/600,4312/459 is 4/91800
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 600,459 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(600,459) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(600,459) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(600,459) = ( 600 × 459 ) / 3
LCM(600,459) = 275400 / 3
LCM(600,459) = 91800
