So the greatest common factor 501,712 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 534,538
2 | 534, 538 |
267, 269 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 267 x 269 = 143646
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/143646
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 501/534,712/538 is 1/143646
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 534,538 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(534,538) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(534,538) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(534,538) = ( 534 × 538 ) / 2
LCM(534,538) = 287292 / 2
LCM(534,538) = 143646
