Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2554,3136 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2554,3136 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 741,989
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 732849
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/732849
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2554/741,3136/989 is 2/732849
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 741,989 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(741,989) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(741,989) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(741,989) = ( 741 × 989 ) / 1
LCM(741,989) = 732849 / 1
LCM(741,989) = 732849
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
