Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 181,796 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 181,796 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 362,540
2 | 362, 540 |
181, 270 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 181 x 270 = 97740
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/97740
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 181/362,796/540 is 1/97740
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 362,540 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(362,540) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(362,540) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(362,540) = ( 362 × 540 ) / 2
LCM(362,540) = 195480 / 2
LCM(362,540) = 97740
