Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5538,1365 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5538,1365 is 39.
Lets's calculate LCM of 632,741
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 468312
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 39/468312
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5538/632,1365/741 is 39/468312
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 632,741 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(632,741) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(632,741) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(632,741) = ( 632 × 741 ) / 1
LCM(632,741) = 468312 / 1
LCM(632,741) = 468312
