Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 545,159 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 545,159 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 606,368
2 | 606, 368 |
303, 184 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 303 x 184 = 111504
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/111504
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 545/606,159/368 is 1/111504
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 606,368 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(606,368) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(606,368) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(606,368) = ( 606 × 368 ) / 2
LCM(606,368) = 223008 / 2
LCM(606,368) = 111504
