So the greatest common factor 540,336 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 69,5116
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 353004
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/353004
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 540/69,336/5116 is 12/353004
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 69,5116 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(69,5116) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(69,5116) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(69,5116) = ( 69 × 5116 ) / 1
LCM(69,5116) = 353004 / 1
LCM(69,5116) = 353004
