So the greatest common factor 543,276 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 44,7438
2 | 44, 7438 |
22, 3719 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 22 x 3719 = 163636
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/163636
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 543/44,276/7438 is 3/163636
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 44,7438 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(44,7438) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(44,7438) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(44,7438) = ( 44 × 7438 ) / 2
LCM(44,7438) = 327272 / 2
LCM(44,7438) = 163636
