So the greatest common factor 538,605 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 508,690
2 | 508, 690 |
254, 345 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 254 x 345 = 175260
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/175260
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 538/508,605/690 is 1/175260
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 508,690 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(508,690) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(508,690) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(508,690) = ( 508 × 690 ) / 2
LCM(508,690) = 350520 / 2
LCM(508,690) = 175260
