1,2,4,109,218,436
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 270,436 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 270,436 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 305,552
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 168360
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/168360
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 270/305,436/552 is 2/168360
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 305,552 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(305,552) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(305,552) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(305,552) = ( 305 × 552 ) / 1
LCM(305,552) = 168360 / 1
LCM(305,552) = 168360
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
