1,2,4,727,1454,2908
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 198,2908 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 198,2908 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 515,472
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 243080
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/243080
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 198/515,2908/472 is 2/243080
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 515,472 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(515,472) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(515,472) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(515,472) = ( 515 × 472 ) / 1
LCM(515,472) = 243080 / 1
LCM(515,472) = 243080
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
