Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1685,9300 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1685,9300 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 238,715
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 170170
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/170170
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1685/238,9300/715 is 5/170170
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 238,715 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(238,715) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(238,715) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(238,715) = ( 238 × 715 ) / 1
LCM(238,715) = 170170 / 1
LCM(238,715) = 170170
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
