Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 530,1740 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 530,1740 is 10.
Lets's calculate LCM of 475,278
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 132050
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/132050
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 530/475,1740/278 is 10/132050
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 475,278 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(475,278) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(475,278) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(475,278) = ( 475 × 278 ) / 1
LCM(475,278) = 132050 / 1
LCM(475,278) = 132050
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
