Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 948,948 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 948,948 is 948.
Lets's calculate LCM of 549,272
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 149328
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 948/149328
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 948/549,948/272 is 948/149328
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 549,272 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(549,272) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(549,272) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(549,272) = ( 549 × 272 ) / 1
LCM(549,272) = 149328 / 1
LCM(549,272) = 149328
