Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 132,5688 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 132,5688 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 461,784
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 361424
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/361424
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 132/461,5688/784 is 12/361424
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 461,784 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(461,784) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(461,784) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(461,784) = ( 461 × 784 ) / 1
LCM(461,784) = 361424 / 1
LCM(461,784) = 361424
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
