Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4199,6872 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4199,6872 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 551,251
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 138301
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/138301
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4199/551,6872/251 is 1/138301
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 551,251 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(551,251) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(551,251) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(551,251) = ( 551 × 251 ) / 1
LCM(551,251) = 138301 / 1
LCM(551,251) = 138301
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
