Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5604,8466 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5604,8466 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 31,244
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7564
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/7564
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5604/31,8466/244 is 6/7564
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 31,244 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(31,244) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(31,244) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(31,244) = ( 31 × 244 ) / 1
LCM(31,244) = 7564 / 1
LCM(31,244) = 7564
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
