Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 984,3063 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 984,3063 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 62,542
2 | 62, 542 |
31, 271 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 31 x 271 = 16802
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/16802
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 984/62,3063/542 is 3/16802
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 62,542 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(62,542) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(62,542) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(62,542) = ( 62 × 542 ) / 2
LCM(62,542) = 33604 / 2
LCM(62,542) = 16802
