1,2,4933,9866
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 238,9866 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 238,9866 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 419,932
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 390508
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/390508
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 238/419,9866/932 is 2/390508
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 419,932 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(419,932) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(419,932) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(419,932) = ( 419 × 932 ) / 1
LCM(419,932) = 390508 / 1
LCM(419,932) = 390508
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
