Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3464,3216 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3464,3216 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 542,849
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 460158
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/460158
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3464/542,3216/849 is 8/460158
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 542,849 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(542,849) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(542,849) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(542,849) = ( 542 × 849 ) / 1
LCM(542,849) = 460158 / 1
LCM(542,849) = 460158
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
