Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 296,9588 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 296,9588 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 471,367
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 172857
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/172857
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 296/471,9588/367 is 4/172857
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 471,367 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(471,367) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(471,367) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(471,367) = ( 471 × 367 ) / 1
LCM(471,367) = 172857 / 1
LCM(471,367) = 172857
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
