Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3816,4228 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3816,4228 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 391,821
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 321011
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/321011
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3816/391,4228/821 is 4/321011
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 391,821 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(391,821) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(391,821) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(391,821) = ( 391 × 821 ) / 1
LCM(391,821) = 321011 / 1
LCM(391,821) = 321011
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
