Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 532,574 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 532,574 is 14.
Lets's calculate LCM of 68,1509
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 102612
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/102612
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 532/68,574/1509 is 14/102612
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 68,1509 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(68,1509) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(68,1509) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(68,1509) = ( 68 × 1509 ) / 1
LCM(68,1509) = 102612 / 1
LCM(68,1509) = 102612
