1,3,1759,5277
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1212,5277 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1212,5277 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 219,989
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 216591
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/216591
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1212/219,5277/989 is 3/216591
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 219,989 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(219,989) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(219,989) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(219,989) = ( 219 × 989 ) / 1
LCM(219,989) = 216591 / 1
LCM(219,989) = 216591
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
