Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 285,6860 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 285,6860 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 79,624
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 49296
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/49296
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 285/79,6860/624 is 5/49296
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 79,624 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(79,624) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(79,624) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(79,624) = ( 79 × 624 ) / 1
LCM(79,624) = 49296 / 1
LCM(79,624) = 49296
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
