Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2037,3395 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2037,3395 is 679.
Lets's calculate LCM of 379,176
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 66704
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 679/66704
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2037/379,3395/176 is 679/66704
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 379,176 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(379,176) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(379,176) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(379,176) = ( 379 × 176 ) / 1
LCM(379,176) = 66704 / 1
LCM(379,176) = 66704
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
