Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1885,8996 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1885,8996 is 13.
Lets's calculate LCM of 71,647
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 45937
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/45937
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1885/71,8996/647 is 13/45937
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 71,647 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(71,647) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(71,647) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(71,647) = ( 71 × 647 ) / 1
LCM(71,647) = 45937 / 1
LCM(71,647) = 45937
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
