Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1144,6916 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1144,6916 is 52.
Lets's calculate LCM of 255,524
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 133620
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 52/133620
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1144/255,6916/524 is 52/133620
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 255,524 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(255,524) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(255,524) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(255,524) = ( 255 × 524 ) / 1
LCM(255,524) = 133620 / 1
LCM(255,524) = 133620
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
