Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 614,159 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 614,159 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 552,976
2 | 552, 976 |
2 | 276, 488 |
2 | 138, 244 |
69, 122 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 69 x 122 = 67344
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/67344
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 614/552,159/976 is 1/67344
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 552,976 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(552,976) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(552,976) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(552,976) = ( 552 × 976 ) / 8
LCM(552,976) = 538752 / 8
LCM(552,976) = 67344
