Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 156,3692 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 156,3692 is 52.
Lets's calculate LCM of 718,481
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 345358
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 52/345358
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 156/718,3692/481 is 52/345358
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 718,481 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(718,481) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(718,481) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(718,481) = ( 718 × 481 ) / 1
LCM(718,481) = 345358 / 1
LCM(718,481) = 345358
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
