1,3,19,43,57,129,817,2451
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1968,2451 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1968,2451 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 275,461
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 126775
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/126775
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1968/275,2451/461 is 3/126775
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 275,461 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(275,461) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(275,461) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(275,461) = ( 275 × 461 ) / 1
LCM(275,461) = 126775 / 1
LCM(275,461) = 126775
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
