We found the factors 178,2886 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 178,2886 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 443,1364
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 604252
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/604252
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 178/443,2886/1364 is 2/604252
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 443,1364 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(443,1364) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(443,1364) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(443,1364) = ( 443 × 1364 ) / 1
LCM(443,1364) = 604252 / 1
LCM(443,1364) = 604252
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
