Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5199,1344 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5199,1344 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 472,887
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 418664
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/418664
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5199/472,1344/887 is 3/418664
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 472,887 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(472,887) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(472,887) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(472,887) = ( 472 × 887 ) / 1
LCM(472,887) = 418664 / 1
LCM(472,887) = 418664
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
