Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3143,3261 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3143,3261 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 549,5174
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2840526
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2840526
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3143/549,3261/5174 is 1/2840526
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 549,5174 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(549,5174) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(549,5174) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(549,5174) = ( 549 × 5174 ) / 1
LCM(549,5174) = 2840526 / 1
LCM(549,5174) = 2840526
