Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 189,6972 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 189,6972 is 21.
Lets's calculate LCM of 295,254
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 74930
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 21/74930
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 189/295,6972/254 is 21/74930
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 295,254 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(295,254) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(295,254) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(295,254) = ( 295 × 254 ) / 1
LCM(295,254) = 74930 / 1
LCM(295,254) = 74930
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
