Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 508,472 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 508,472 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 2171,1696
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3682016
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/3682016
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 508/2171,472/1696 is 4/3682016
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 2171,1696 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(2171,1696) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(2171,1696) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(2171,1696) = ( 2171 × 1696 ) / 1
LCM(2171,1696) = 3682016 / 1
LCM(2171,1696) = 3682016
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
