Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 286,5159 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 286,5159 is 11.
Lets's calculate LCM of 833,437
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 364021
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/364021
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 286/833,5159/437 is 11/364021
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 833,437 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(833,437) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(833,437) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(833,437) = ( 833 × 437 ) / 1
LCM(833,437) = 364021 / 1
LCM(833,437) = 364021
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
