Now, list down the factors of 542
:1,2,271,542
Now, list down the factors of 649
:1,11,59,649
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 542,649 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 542,649 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 31,673
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 20863
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/20863
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 542/31,649/673 is 1/20863
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 31,673 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(31,673) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(31,673) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(31,673) = ( 31 × 673 ) / 1
LCM(31,673) = 20863 / 1
LCM(31,673) = 20863
