Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 336,5552 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 336,5552 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 615,127
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 78105
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/78105
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 336/615,5552/127 is 16/78105
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 615,127 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(615,127) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(615,127) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(615,127) = ( 615 × 127 ) / 1
LCM(615,127) = 78105 / 1
LCM(615,127) = 78105
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
