1,2,4,809,1618,3236
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 360,3236 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 360,3236 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 785,858
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 673530
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/673530
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 360/785,3236/858 is 4/673530
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 785,858 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(785,858) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(785,858) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(785,858) = ( 785 × 858 ) / 1
LCM(785,858) = 673530 / 1
LCM(785,858) = 673530
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
