We found the factors 273,756 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 273,756 is 21.
Lets's calculate LCM of 335,578
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 193630
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 21/193630
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 273/335,756/578 is 21/193630
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 335,578 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(335,578) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(335,578) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(335,578) = ( 335 × 578 ) / 1
LCM(335,578) = 193630 / 1
LCM(335,578) = 193630
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
