Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 826,131 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 826,131 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 948,542
2 | 948, 542 |
474, 271 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 474 x 271 = 256908
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/256908
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 826/948,131/542 is 1/256908
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 948,542 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(948,542) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(948,542) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(948,542) = ( 948 × 542 ) / 2
LCM(948,542) = 513816 / 2
LCM(948,542) = 256908
