Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 506,6116 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 506,6116 is 22.
Lets's calculate LCM of 481,391
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 188071
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 22/188071
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 506/481,6116/391 is 22/188071
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 481,391 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(481,391) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(481,391) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(481,391) = ( 481 × 391 ) / 1
LCM(481,391) = 188071 / 1
LCM(481,391) = 188071
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
