Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 555,275 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 555,275 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 544,196
2 | 544, 196 |
2 | 272, 98 |
136, 49 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 136 x 49 = 26656
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/26656
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 555/544,275/196 is 5/26656
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 544,196 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(544,196) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(544,196) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(544,196) = ( 544 × 196 ) / 4
LCM(544,196) = 106624 / 4
LCM(544,196) = 26656
