1,3,11,33,227,681,2497,7491
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3976,7491 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3976,7491 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 643,856
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 550408
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/550408
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3976/643,7491/856 is 1/550408
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 643,856 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(643,856) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(643,856) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(643,856) = ( 643 × 856 ) / 1
LCM(643,856) = 550408 / 1
LCM(643,856) = 550408
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
