Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 296,5666 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 296,5666 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 289,431
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 124559
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/124559
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 296/289,5666/431 is 2/124559
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 289,431 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(289,431) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(289,431) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(289,431) = ( 289 × 431 ) / 1
LCM(289,431) = 124559 / 1
LCM(289,431) = 124559
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
