:1,2,1237,2474
Now, list down the factors of 8532
:1,2,3,4,6,9,12,18,27,36,54,79,108,158,237,316,474,711,948,1422,2133,2844,4266,8532
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2474,8532 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2474,8532 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 514,540
2 | 514, 540 |
257, 270 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 257 x 270 = 138780
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/138780
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2474/514,8532/540 is 2/138780
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 514,540 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(514,540) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(514,540) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(514,540) = ( 514 × 540 ) / 2
LCM(514,540) = 277560 / 2
LCM(514,540) = 138780
