Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5091,6612 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5091,6612 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 726,947
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 687522
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/687522
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5091/726,6612/947 is 3/687522
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 726,947 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(726,947) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(726,947) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(726,947) = ( 726 × 947 ) / 1
LCM(726,947) = 687522 / 1
LCM(726,947) = 687522
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
