Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 966,575 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 966,575 is 23.
Lets's calculate LCM of 544,400
2 | 544, 400 |
2 | 272, 200 |
2 | 136, 100 |
2 | 68, 50 |
34, 25 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 34 x 25 = 13600
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 23/13600
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 966/544,575/400 is 23/13600
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 544,400 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(544,400) = 16
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(544,400) x common factors =16 x 1 = 16
LCM(544,400) = ( 544 × 400 ) / 16
LCM(544,400) = 217600 / 16
LCM(544,400) = 13600
