Lets's calculate LCM of 799,205
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 163795
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/163795
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 556/799,8888/205 is 4/163795
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 799,205 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(799,205) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(799,205) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(799,205) = ( 799 × 205 ) / 1
LCM(799,205) = 163795 / 1
LCM(799,205) = 163795
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
