Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5488,7956 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5488,7956 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 841,130
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 109330
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/109330
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5488/841,7956/130 is 4/109330
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 841,130 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(841,130) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(841,130) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(841,130) = ( 841 × 130 ) / 1
LCM(841,130) = 109330 / 1
LCM(841,130) = 109330
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
