Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 160,944 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 160,944 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 3031,3884
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 11772404
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/11772404
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 160/3031,944/3884 is 16/11772404
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 3031,3884 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(3031,3884) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(3031,3884) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(3031,3884) = ( 3031 × 3884 ) / 1
LCM(3031,3884) = 11772404 / 1
LCM(3031,3884) = 11772404
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
