We found the factors 3148,1540 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3148,1540 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 517,3554
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1837418
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/1837418
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3148/517,1540/3554 is 4/1837418
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 517,3554 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(517,3554) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(517,3554) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(517,3554) = ( 517 × 3554 ) / 1
LCM(517,3554) = 1837418 / 1
LCM(517,3554) = 1837418
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
