Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 308,4500 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 308,4500 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 745,774
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 576630
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/576630
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 308/745,4500/774 is 4/576630
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 745,774 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(745,774) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(745,774) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(745,774) = ( 745 × 774 ) / 1
LCM(745,774) = 576630 / 1
LCM(745,774) = 576630
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
