Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3916,7942 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3916,7942 is 22.
Lets's calculate LCM of 19,160
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3040
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 22/3040
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3916/19,7942/160 is 22/3040
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 19,160 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(19,160) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(19,160) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(19,160) = ( 19 × 160 ) / 1
LCM(19,160) = 3040 / 1
LCM(19,160) = 3040
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
