Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 924,5538 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 924,5538 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 45,271
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 12195
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/12195
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 924/45,5538/271 is 6/12195
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 45,271 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(45,271) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(45,271) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(45,271) = ( 45 × 271 ) / 1
LCM(45,271) = 12195 / 1
LCM(45,271) = 12195
