Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 333,2976 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 333,2976 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 187,378
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 70686
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/70686
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 333/187,2976/378 is 3/70686
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 187,378 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(187,378) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(187,378) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(187,378) = ( 187 × 378 ) / 1
LCM(187,378) = 70686 / 1
LCM(187,378) = 70686
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
