Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2138,5644 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2138,5644 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 959,500
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 479500
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/479500
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2138/959,5644/500 is 2/479500
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 959,500 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(959,500) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(959,500) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(959,500) = ( 959 × 500 ) / 1
LCM(959,500) = 479500 / 1
LCM(959,500) = 479500
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
