Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5480,1556 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5480,1556 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 382,533
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 203606
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/203606
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5480/382,1556/533 is 4/203606
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 382,533 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(382,533) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(382,533) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(382,533) = ( 382 × 533 ) / 1
LCM(382,533) = 203606 / 1
LCM(382,533) = 203606
