Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3444,8236 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3444,8236 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 131,968
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 126808
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/126808
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3444/131,8236/968 is 4/126808
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 131,968 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(131,968) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(131,968) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(131,968) = ( 131 × 968 ) / 1
LCM(131,968) = 126808 / 1
LCM(131,968) = 126808
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
