1,2,3541,7082
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1602,7082 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1602,7082 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 991,197
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 195227
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/195227
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1602/991,7082/197 is 2/195227
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 991,197 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(991,197) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(991,197) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(991,197) = ( 991 × 197 ) / 1
LCM(991,197) = 195227 / 1
LCM(991,197) = 195227
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
