Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5624,7740 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5624,7740 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 187,801
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 149787
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/149787
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5624/187,7740/801 is 4/149787
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 187,801 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(187,801) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(187,801) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(187,801) = ( 187 × 801 ) / 1
LCM(187,801) = 149787 / 1
LCM(187,801) = 149787
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
