Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1978,9637 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1978,9637 is 23.
Lets's calculate LCM of 764,5161
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3943004
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 23/3943004
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1978/764,9637/5161 is 23/3943004
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 764,5161 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(764,5161) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(764,5161) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(764,5161) = ( 764 × 5161 ) / 1
LCM(764,5161) = 3943004 / 1
LCM(764,5161) = 3943004
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
