Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 258,5368 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 258,5368 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 251,714
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 179214
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/179214
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 258/251,5368/714 is 2/179214
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 251,714 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(251,714) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(251,714) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(251,714) = ( 251 × 714 ) / 1
LCM(251,714) = 179214 / 1
LCM(251,714) = 179214
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
