Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1364,1688 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1364,1688 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 537,962
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 516594
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/516594
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1364/537,1688/962 is 4/516594
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 537,962 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(537,962) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(537,962) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(537,962) = ( 537 × 962 ) / 1
LCM(537,962) = 516594 / 1
LCM(537,962) = 516594
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
