1,1399
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8042,1399 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8042,1399 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 542,730
2 | 542, 730 |
271, 365 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 271 x 365 = 197830
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/197830
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8042/542,1399/730 is 1/197830
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 542,730 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(542,730) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(542,730) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(542,730) = ( 542 × 730 ) / 2
LCM(542,730) = 395660 / 2
LCM(542,730) = 197830
