Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 475,3850 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 475,3850 is 25.
Lets's calculate LCM of 730,987
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 720510
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 25/720510
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 475/730,3850/987 is 25/720510
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 730,987 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(730,987) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(730,987) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(730,987) = ( 730 × 987 ) / 1
LCM(730,987) = 720510 / 1
LCM(730,987) = 720510
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
