Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5337,2970 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5337,2970 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 384,517
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 198528
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/198528
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5337/384,2970/517 is 9/198528
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 384,517 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(384,517) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(384,517) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(384,517) = ( 384 × 517 ) / 1
LCM(384,517) = 198528 / 1
LCM(384,517) = 198528
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
