Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2528,5568 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2528,5568 is 32.
Lets's calculate LCM of 233,972
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 226476
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 32/226476
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2528/233,5568/972 is 32/226476
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 233,972 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(233,972) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(233,972) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(233,972) = ( 233 × 972 ) / 1
LCM(233,972) = 226476 / 1
LCM(233,972) = 226476
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
