Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 288,572 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 288,572 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 71,3487
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 247577
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/247577
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 288/71,572/3487 is 4/247577
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 71,3487 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(71,3487) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(71,3487) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(71,3487) = ( 71 × 3487 ) / 1
LCM(71,3487) = 247577 / 1
LCM(71,3487) = 247577
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
