Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 147,467 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 147,467 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 542,162
2 | 542, 162 |
271, 81 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 271 x 81 = 43902
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/43902
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 147/542,467/162 is 1/43902
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 542,162 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(542,162) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(542,162) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(542,162) = ( 542 × 162 ) / 2
LCM(542,162) = 87804 / 2
LCM(542,162) = 43902
