Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 496,1232 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 496,1232 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 911,131
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 119341
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/119341
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 496/911,1232/131 is 16/119341
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 911,131 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(911,131) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(911,131) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(911,131) = ( 911 × 131 ) / 1
LCM(911,131) = 119341 / 1
LCM(911,131) = 119341
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
