Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4455,3537 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4455,3537 is 27.
Lets's calculate LCM of 27,286
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7722
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 27/7722
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4455/27,3537/286 is 27/7722
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 27,286 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(27,286) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(27,286) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(27,286) = ( 27 × 286 ) / 1
LCM(27,286) = 7722 / 1
LCM(27,286) = 7722
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
