So the greatest common factor 1207,5780 is 17.
Lets's calculate LCM of 237,518
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 122766
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 17/122766
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1207/237,5780/518 is 17/122766
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 237,518 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(237,518) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(237,518) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(237,518) = ( 237 × 518 ) / 1
LCM(237,518) = 122766 / 1
LCM(237,518) = 122766
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
