Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 542,8320 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 542,8320 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 715,269
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 192335
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/192335
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 542/715,8320/269 is 2/192335
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 715,269 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(715,269) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(715,269) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(715,269) = ( 715 × 269 ) / 1
LCM(715,269) = 192335 / 1
LCM(715,269) = 192335
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
