1,2,4,2399,4798,9596
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 338,9596 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 338,9596 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 513,487
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 249831
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/249831
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 338/513,9596/487 is 2/249831
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 513,487 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(513,487) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(513,487) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(513,487) = ( 513 × 487 ) / 1
LCM(513,487) = 249831 / 1
LCM(513,487) = 249831
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
