Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 546,236 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 546,236 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 10,1306
2 | 10, 1306 |
5, 653 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 653 = 6530
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/6530
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 546/10,236/1306 is 2/6530
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 10,1306 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(10,1306) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(10,1306) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(10,1306) = ( 10 × 1306 ) / 2
LCM(10,1306) = 13060 / 2
LCM(10,1306) = 6530
