Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 20,44,996 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 20,44,996 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 907,662,509
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 305620906
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/305620906
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 20/907,44/662,996/509 is 4/305620906
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 907,662,509 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(907,662,509) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(907,662,509) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(907,662,509) = ( 907 × 662 × 509 ) / 1
LCM(907,662,509) = 305620906 / 1
LCM(907,662,509) = 305620906
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
