:1,2,4,8,233,466,932,1864
Now, list down the factors of 5240
:1,2,4,5,8,10,20,40,131,262,524,655,1048,1310,2620,5240
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1864,5240 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1864,5240 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 489,1527
3 | 489, 1527 |
163, 509 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 163 x 509 = 248901
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/248901
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1864/489,5240/1527 is 8/248901
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 489,1527 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(489,1527) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(489,1527) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(489,1527) = ( 489 × 1527 ) / 3
LCM(489,1527) = 746703 / 3
LCM(489,1527) = 248901
