Lets's calculate LCM of 195,739
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 144105
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/144105
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 237/195,5196/739 is 3/144105
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 195,739 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(195,739) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(195,739) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(195,739) = ( 195 × 739 ) / 1
LCM(195,739) = 144105 / 1
LCM(195,739) = 144105
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
