1,2,4,8,827,1654,3308,6616
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 362,6616 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 362,6616 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 277,724
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 200548
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/200548
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 362/277,6616/724 is 2/200548
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 277,724 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(277,724) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(277,724) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(277,724) = ( 277 × 724 ) / 1
LCM(277,724) = 200548 / 1
LCM(277,724) = 200548
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
