:1,2,13,17,26,34,221,442
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 130,442 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 130,442 is 26.
Lets's calculate LCM of 572,948
2 | 572, 948 |
2 | 286, 474 |
143, 237 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 143 x 237 = 135564
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 26/135564
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 130/572,442/948 is 26/135564
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 572,948 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(572,948) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(572,948) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(572,948) = ( 572 × 948 ) / 4
LCM(572,948) = 542256 / 4
LCM(572,948) = 135564
