Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 566,559 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 566,559 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 542,376
2 | 542, 376 |
271, 188 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 271 x 188 = 101896
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/101896
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 566/542,559/376 is 1/101896
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 542,376 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(542,376) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(542,376) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(542,376) = ( 542 × 376 ) / 2
LCM(542,376) = 203792 / 2
LCM(542,376) = 101896
