Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4976,1400 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4976,1400 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 362,303
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 109686
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/109686
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4976/362,1400/303 is 8/109686
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 362,303 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(362,303) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(362,303) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(362,303) = ( 362 × 303 ) / 1
LCM(362,303) = 109686 / 1
LCM(362,303) = 109686
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
