Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 434,520 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 434,520 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 59,7436
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 438724
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/438724
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 434/59,520/7436 is 2/438724
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 59,7436 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(59,7436) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(59,7436) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(59,7436) = ( 59 × 7436 ) / 1
LCM(59,7436) = 438724 / 1
LCM(59,7436) = 438724
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
