Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 539,821 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 539,821 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 248,400
2 | 248, 400 |
2 | 124, 200 |
2 | 62, 100 |
31, 50 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 31 x 50 = 12400
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/12400
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 539/248,821/400 is 1/12400
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 248,400 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(248,400) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(248,400) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(248,400) = ( 248 × 400 ) / 8
LCM(248,400) = 99200 / 8
LCM(248,400) = 12400
