Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 325,5950 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 325,5950 is 25.
Lets's calculate LCM of 668,387
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 258516
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 25/258516
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 325/668,5950/387 is 25/258516
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 668,387 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(668,387) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(668,387) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(668,387) = ( 668 × 387 ) / 1
LCM(668,387) = 258516 / 1
LCM(668,387) = 258516
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
