Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 749,251 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 749,251 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 564,537
3 | 564, 537 |
188, 179 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 188 x 179 = 100956
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/100956
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 749/564,251/537 is 1/100956
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 564,537 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(564,537) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(564,537) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(564,537) = ( 564 × 537 ) / 3
LCM(564,537) = 302868 / 3
LCM(564,537) = 100956
