1,5,7,11,35,55,77,385
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 540,385 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 540,385 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 347,452
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 156844
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/156844
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 540/347,385/452 is 5/156844
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 347,452 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(347,452) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(347,452) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(347,452) = ( 347 × 452 ) / 1
LCM(347,452) = 156844 / 1
LCM(347,452) = 156844
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
