Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5530,6162 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5530,6162 is 158.
Lets's calculate LCM of 471,412
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 194052
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 158/194052
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5530/471,6162/412 is 158/194052
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 471,412 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(471,412) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(471,412) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(471,412) = ( 471 × 412 ) / 1
LCM(471,412) = 194052 / 1
LCM(471,412) = 194052
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
