Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4237,8797 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4237,8797 is 19.
Lets's calculate LCM of 193,746
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 143978
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 19/143978
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4237/193,8797/746 is 19/143978
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 193,746 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(193,746) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(193,746) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(193,746) = ( 193 × 746 ) / 1
LCM(193,746) = 143978 / 1
LCM(193,746) = 143978
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
