We found the factors 196,2860 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 196,2860 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 687,707
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 485709
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/485709
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 196/687,2860/707 is 4/485709
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 687,707 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(687,707) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(687,707) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(687,707) = ( 687 × 707 ) / 1
LCM(687,707) = 485709 / 1
LCM(687,707) = 485709
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
