Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2391,5232 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2391,5232 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 931,803
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 747593
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/747593
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2391/931,5232/803 is 3/747593
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 931,803 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(931,803) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(931,803) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(931,803) = ( 931 × 803 ) / 1
LCM(931,803) = 747593 / 1
LCM(931,803) = 747593
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
