Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1948,4644 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1948,4644 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 654,743
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 485922
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/485922
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1948/654,4644/743 is 4/485922
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 654,743 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(654,743) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(654,743) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(654,743) = ( 654 × 743 ) / 1
LCM(654,743) = 485922 / 1
LCM(654,743) = 485922
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
