Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 389,173 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 389,173 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 539,360
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 194040
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/194040
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 389/539,173/360 is 1/194040
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 539,360 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(539,360) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(539,360) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(539,360) = ( 539 × 360 ) / 1
LCM(539,360) = 194040 / 1
LCM(539,360) = 194040
