Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4243,4672 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4243,4672 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 821,538
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 441698
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/441698
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4243/821,4672/538 is 1/441698
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 821,538 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(821,538) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(821,538) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(821,538) = ( 821 × 538 ) / 1
LCM(821,538) = 441698 / 1
LCM(821,538) = 441698
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
