Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 180,330 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 180,330 is 30.
Lets's calculate LCM of 542,744
2 | 542, 744 |
271, 372 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 271 x 372 = 201624
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 30/201624
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 180/542,330/744 is 30/201624
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 542,744 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(542,744) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(542,744) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(542,744) = ( 542 × 744 ) / 2
LCM(542,744) = 403248 / 2
LCM(542,744) = 201624
