Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3776,7328 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3776,7328 is 32.
Lets's calculate LCM of 251,429
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 107679
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 32/107679
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3776/251,7328/429 is 32/107679
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 251,429 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(251,429) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(251,429) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(251,429) = ( 251 × 429 ) / 1
LCM(251,429) = 107679 / 1
LCM(251,429) = 107679
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
