Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5024,7308 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5024,7308 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 523,278
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 145394
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/145394
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5024/523,7308/278 is 4/145394
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 523,278 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(523,278) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(523,278) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(523,278) = ( 523 × 278 ) / 1
LCM(523,278) = 145394 / 1
LCM(523,278) = 145394
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
