Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 557,8211 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 557,8211 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 224,484
2 | 224, 484 |
2 | 112, 242 |
56, 121 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 56 x 121 = 27104
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/27104
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 557/224,8211/484 is 1/27104
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 224,484 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(224,484) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(224,484) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(224,484) = ( 224 × 484 ) / 4
LCM(224,484) = 108416 / 4
LCM(224,484) = 27104
