Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 757,3542 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 757,3542 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 242,372
2 | 242, 372 |
121, 186 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 121 x 186 = 45012
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/45012
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 757/242,3542/372 is 1/45012
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 242,372 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(242,372) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(242,372) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(242,372) = ( 242 × 372 ) / 2
LCM(242,372) = 90024 / 2
LCM(242,372) = 45012
