Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1989,6588 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1989,6588 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 133,661
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 87913
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/87913
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1989/133,6588/661 is 9/87913
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 133,661 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(133,661) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(133,661) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(133,661) = ( 133 × 661 ) / 1
LCM(133,661) = 87913 / 1
LCM(133,661) = 87913
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
