Lets's calculate LCM of 295,963
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 284085
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/284085
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2146/295,7146/963 is 2/284085
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 295,963 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(295,963) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(295,963) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(295,963) = ( 295 × 963 ) / 1
LCM(295,963) = 284085 / 1
LCM(295,963) = 284085
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
