Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 409,338 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 409,338 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 541,988
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 534508
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/534508
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 409/541,338/988 is 1/534508
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 541,988 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(541,988) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(541,988) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(541,988) = ( 541 × 988 ) / 1
LCM(541,988) = 534508 / 1
LCM(541,988) = 534508
