So the greatest common factor 540,352 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 67,1243
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 83281
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/83281
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 540/67,352/1243 is 4/83281
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 67,1243 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(67,1243) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(67,1243) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(67,1243) = ( 67 × 1243 ) / 1
LCM(67,1243) = 83281 / 1
LCM(67,1243) = 83281
