So the greatest common factor 462,468 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 1565,3707
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5801455
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/5801455
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 462/1565,468/3707 is 6/5801455
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 1565,3707 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(1565,3707) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(1565,3707) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(1565,3707) = ( 1565 × 3707 ) / 1
LCM(1565,3707) = 5801455 / 1
LCM(1565,3707) = 5801455
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
