Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 275,1360 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 275,1360 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 973,971
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 944783
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/944783
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 275/973,1360/971 is 5/944783
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 973,971 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(973,971) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(973,971) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(973,971) = ( 973 × 971 ) / 1
LCM(973,971) = 944783 / 1
LCM(973,971) = 944783
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
