We found the factors 188,3924 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 188,3924 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 696,155
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 107880
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/107880
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 188/696,3924/155 is 4/107880
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 696,155 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(696,155) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(696,155) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(696,155) = ( 696 × 155 ) / 1
LCM(696,155) = 107880 / 1
LCM(696,155) = 107880
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
