Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 546,159 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 546,159 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 920,241
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 221720
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/221720
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 546/920,159/241 is 3/221720
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 920,241 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(920,241) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(920,241) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(920,241) = ( 920 × 241 ) / 1
LCM(920,241) = 221720 / 1
LCM(920,241) = 221720
