1,11,19,209,361,3971
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4948,3971 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4948,3971 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 331,1902
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 629562
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/629562
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4948/331,3971/1902 is 1/629562
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 331,1902 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(331,1902) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(331,1902) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(331,1902) = ( 331 × 1902 ) / 1
LCM(331,1902) = 629562 / 1
LCM(331,1902) = 629562
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
