Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5498,4921 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5498,4921 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 602,960
2 | 602, 960 |
301, 480 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 301 x 480 = 288960
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/288960
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5498/602,4921/960 is 1/288960
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 602,960 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(602,960) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(602,960) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(602,960) = ( 602 × 960 ) / 2
LCM(602,960) = 577920 / 2
LCM(602,960) = 288960
