Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 384,6352 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 384,6352 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 333,224
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 74592
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/74592
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 384/333,6352/224 is 16/74592
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 333,224 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(333,224) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(333,224) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(333,224) = ( 333 × 224 ) / 1
LCM(333,224) = 74592 / 1
LCM(333,224) = 74592
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
