:1,11,43,473
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 539,473 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 539,473 is 11.
Lets's calculate LCM of 996,382
2 | 996, 382 |
498, 191 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 498 x 191 = 190236
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/190236
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 539/996,473/382 is 11/190236
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 996,382 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(996,382) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(996,382) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(996,382) = ( 996 × 382 ) / 2
LCM(996,382) = 380472 / 2
LCM(996,382) = 190236
