So the greatest common factor 542,876 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 927,941
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 872307
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/872307
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 542/927,876/941 is 2/872307
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 927,941 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(927,941) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(927,941) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(927,941) = ( 927 × 941 ) / 1
LCM(927,941) = 872307 / 1
LCM(927,941) = 872307
