:1,3,9,31,93,279
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 155,279 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 155,279 is 31.
Lets's calculate LCM of 548,258
2 | 548, 258 |
274, 129 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 274 x 129 = 70692
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 31/70692
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 155/548,279/258 is 31/70692
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 548,258 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(548,258) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(548,258) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(548,258) = ( 548 × 258 ) / 2
LCM(548,258) = 141384 / 2
LCM(548,258) = 70692
