Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3247,2728 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3247,2728 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 304,421
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 127984
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/127984
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3247/304,2728/421 is 1/127984
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 304,421 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(304,421) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(304,421) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(304,421) = ( 304 × 421 ) / 1
LCM(304,421) = 127984 / 1
LCM(304,421) = 127984
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
