1,2,7,14,79,158,553,1106
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 982,1106 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 982,1106 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 540,992
2 | 540, 992 |
2 | 270, 496 |
135, 248 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 135 x 248 = 133920
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/133920
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 982/540,1106/992 is 2/133920
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 540,992 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(540,992) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(540,992) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(540,992) = ( 540 × 992 ) / 4
LCM(540,992) = 535680 / 4
LCM(540,992) = 133920
