We found the factors 2036,2498 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2036,2498 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 541,1352
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 731432
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/731432
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2036/541,2498/1352 is 2/731432
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 541,1352 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(541,1352) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(541,1352) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(541,1352) = ( 541 × 1352 ) / 1
LCM(541,1352) = 731432 / 1
LCM(541,1352) = 731432
