We found the factors 542,8005 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 542,8005 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 920,118
2 | 920, 118 |
460, 59 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 460 x 59 = 54280
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/54280
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 542/920,8005/118 is 1/54280
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 920,118 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(920,118) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(920,118) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(920,118) = ( 920 × 118 ) / 2
LCM(920,118) = 108560 / 2
LCM(920,118) = 54280
