Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1862,3480 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1862,3480 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 543,778
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 422454
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/422454
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1862/543,3480/778 is 2/422454
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 543,778 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(543,778) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(543,778) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(543,778) = ( 543 × 778 ) / 1
LCM(543,778) = 422454 / 1
LCM(543,778) = 422454
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
