Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 988,4331 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 988,4331 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 540,879
3 | 540, 879 |
180, 293 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 180 x 293 = 158220
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/158220
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 988/540,4331/879 is 1/158220
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 540,879 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(540,879) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(540,879) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(540,879) = ( 540 × 879 ) / 3
LCM(540,879) = 474660 / 3
LCM(540,879) = 158220
